I was being sarcastic :P
"100% of the time", being the key words there. The biggest factor is parents & home life, not the schools. The biggest problem in American education is that too many parents feel that its completely on the schools to educate their kids and that they have no role in the matter.
From a very early age my parents worked hard to teach me to want to learn and to want to know. That early influence + their willingness as I grew to indulgence me the things I found interesting (space, dinos, etx etc) by taking me to museums / buying me books and so forth is the foundation of my education. Not w/e school I happened to attend. Really the only important skills I learned in K-12 were social ones, not knowledge based ones.

I never had summer breaks, well i did... but i still had to do daily school work to make sure i didn't forget what i learned, and so i got an early lead on next years material. Granted i was never good with grammar... or spelling =/ And personally I Think they should get rid of "Summer off". Idk it just always seemed like a huge gap to have off. Maybe shorten it to a few weeks to a month max..

I personally dont think year round school would make any difference here, at least until they can figure out how to make the time kids are there already worth a damn.

I kind of sort of agree with you. I had some really awesome teachers! I think I absorbed a lot in HS, socially and educationally. |
