Hello dear teachers,
ScienceDaily (Aug. 14, 2007) � Students in �year-round� schools don �t learn more than their peers in traditional nine-month schools, new research has found.
A sociologist at Ohio State University found that, over a full year, English and reading test scores improved about the same amount for children in year-round schools as they did for students whose schools followed a traditional nine-month calendar.
�We found that students in year-round schools learn more during the summer, when others are on vacation, but they seem to learn less than other children during the rest of the year,� said Paul von Hippel, author of the study and research statistician in sociology at Ohio State.
Here in my country, year-round schools don �t exist. Do they exist in your countries??
Are you with year-round schools or schools that follow a traditional nine-month calendar?? Why???
Hugs,
