The consensus is in – American students aren’t achieving the same sort of scores that students in other countries are. And that is where the agreement ends. Now, as to how we go about fixing it – that is where all of the idea and options come flowing in. One such option, as mentioned in the Parade Magazine’s Intelligence Report is to extend the school year.
One part of me thinks that could help, if it meant taking different breaks throughout the year rather than the three month summer break. However, even extending the year might not give those sought after results. Perhaps reducing class size would…but that’s just a pipe dream.
