Summer vacation is evil
- cafard 13y agoWouldn't we close the achievement gap as effectively by jailing the affluent parents as by jailing their kids? And the parents are grown-ups and expect to suffer. The kids could be spared their illusions for a few more years. I would prefer to define as evil the urge to take an institution that more or less works sometimes, namely school, and make it an all-purpose institution for child care and social amelioration. Am I in favor of summer school for those who could use it? Sure. Am I in favor of summer school for all because some need it? No.
