Education Advisory Panel: What do you think about year-round schooling? Postcrescent.com Appleton Post-Crescent:
"More than 3,000 schools in at least 46 states, particularly California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada and Georgia —and a handful in southern Wisconsin — use a year-round school calendar today.Once they get used to breaking up the long summer vacation with shorter, more frequent breaks during the year, many teachers, students and parents like it. Others don't and have returned to traditional calendars.Advocacy groups like the National Association for Year Round Education point to research indicating a modified calendar makes a difference in student achievement, minimizing 'summer learning loss' in such areas as math and reading."
