10. “ On average, children’s achievement test scores were at least one-month lower when they returned to school in fall than they had been when the children left school in spring.” Harris Cooper et al Review of Educational Research Spring, 2003
11. “ Modified calendars were associated with higher achievement for economically disadvantaged students” Harris Cooper et al Review of Educational Research Spring, 2003
12. Harris Cooper et al Review of Educational Research Spring, 2003 “ Students, parents and staff who participated in modified calendar programs were positive about their experiences.”
14. National Association for Year-Round Education “ The convention of requiring students to attend (school) for 9 or 10 months and then take a long vacation is counterproductive to long-term learning.” Getting Smarter, Becoming Fairer
15. National Association for Year-Round Education “ The summer learning loss is greatest among low-income children, who often lack the enriching out-of-school opportunities available to their more affluent peers.” Getting Smarter, Becoming Fairer
16. National Association for Year-Round Education “ If students in continually low-performing school districts are to have a chance at catching up and meeting standards, they will need much more time engaged in learning activities.” Getting Smarter, Becoming Fairer
17. National Association for Year-Round Education “ Today’s publicly supported learning time was designed to respond to the needs of students and their families – the students and families of the 19 th century.” Getting Smarter, Becoming Fairer
19. National Association for Year-Round Education “ Our usage of time virtually assures the failure of many students.” Prisoners of Time
20. National Association for Year-Round Education “ Unyielding and relentless, the time available in a uniform six-hour day and a 180-day year is the unacknowledged design flaw in American Education.” Prisoners of Time
21. National Association for Year-Round Education “ (There) is the pretense that because yesterday’s calendar was good enough for us, it should be good enough for our children – despite major changes in the larger society.” Prisoners of Time
22. National Association for Year-Round Education “ The idea, still having two months off, is ridiculous in this country. If you’re going to compete with India and China, they’re going to school six days a week and they don’t take the summer off.” Chiago Mayor Richard Daley
