Parents share that frustration.
The current academic calendar is not a significant factor in the problems being experienced in our schools. Many concerned parents are questioning the wisdom of adopting a calendar which has been shown to have little if any positive impact academically, yet will require substantially more tax dollars to operate. Year Round School advocates are quick to site claims of educational improvements. These claims, which are being marketed extensively by the National Association FOR Year Round Education, are merely theories. Year round calendars have been in operation for many years without demonstrating any statistically significant improvements.
