Why take these summer breaks in the first place? Are your kids needed on the farms still? Or is it because salty teachers are underpaid and having summer breaks is th only way the US can convince them to work. Where is the data that summer breaks help any students at all? Poor or rich smart or lazy? What about the kids that don’t get lunches when they are not in school? Summer slumping is a detriment to all, to society. I don’t see many teachers willing to stand up to that as the underlying issue, and I don’t see how it’s fair to blame those that are either willing or able to fight it independently with additional learning. They are not the ones to aim your laser at.
