Really, are you sure? So this is a fact, is it? So what you are
saying is that if we went to year round schooling that all of our
kids would be on level and no one would need to go through a
remedial program, is this your position? I hope you understand how
silly this notion really is. You are in effect saying that the only
reason our students need remedial programs is because they get three
months off in the summer. Nonsense! This is quite a leap to
support your position and doubt there is any evidence to support
this fact. It would be very difficult to prove anyway. The
variables are too numerous and it would be impossible to complete a
true study to prove this one way or the other.
