Except that we already know how much of the problem stems from the home from the decades worth of research that has already been done.
Yet we consistently ignore what we know when discussing policy. We infer bad schools from bad student outcomes. If it's true, then what's wrong with saying it? If it's known, why does our national debate not reflect it?
- kenjackson 16y agoBecause its in the best interest of those who know, not do anything. Year-round schools would be one of the best tools to close the education gap. But if you know this, and your child benefits from the fact that they effectively get year-round schooling, while 30% of the population doesn't, you might be motivated to do nothing. While not everyone is "evil" you do have to remember that when policy reform is being done by those who have the most to "lose", be skeptical.
