- mochomocha 7y agoI don't think that's what this paper is about though: "This paper investigates how changing the length of the school year, leaving the basic curriculum unchanged, affects learning and subsequent earnings" In-person curriculum != online curriculum (social interactions, lab classes, PE...)
