Please please help me Lynch (a blogger for EdWeek) writes: “A long-time thorn in the side of K-12 educators has been the ‘summer slide’ or the theory that knowledge is lost when students get so much time off from academic pursuits” (2013). Therefore, many schools are changing their schedules. NEA Today notes that year-round schools have increased by 26% since 2007. Yes, this change takes some getting used to. Still, schools in Charlotte, Portland, and parts of Michigan are seeing positive benefits. One teacher notes that parents like the altered schedules a lot, even though “there is no concrete proof that students improve academically” (NEA). Even without concrete academic improvements, many administrators are seeing improved attendance. (paragraph 2)
