Post: Mandatory summer school
Posted by AYP rates on 8/03/08
If the government is SO serious about students who are
behind getting extra help. Why don't they just require
all students who don't pass the test to be required to
attend school during the summer and I'm not talking about
for a couple of weeks either. I am talking about two
extra months of schooling.
If we are serious about these kids catching up them lets
get serious about it. Summer vacations are not equal.
Many of these kids who are behind in school actually get
farther behind during the summer vacation. If we are
lucky they only stagnat. Many unfortuanately actually
LOSE ground. On the other hand their classmates, who
read, watch Discovery channel and are enrolled in
enrichment activities come back to school with more
education than they left, further the gap. The other
students do not sit around and wait for the students who
are behind to catch up. Every trick we do in the
classroom to give them the extra boost, to make it easier
to learn is also doing the same for the kids who are not
=behind.
If we are serious about them catching up then GET
SERIOUS. They need extra and prolonged help to catch up.
No kids wouldn't like it. Nor would alot of parents.
Tough we're not do it to be mean, quite the opposite.
