they tried this in britain and test scores went up, because kids were much less sleep deprived. and we can safely assume that better-rested kids weren't just getting more out of their classes, but out of everything else that happens at school -- social learning, bonding, etc. and then you have the impact on long-term physical health, etc. this isn't even about education, it's about not destroying kids' essence with cruel bullshit.

basically you'd have to be a gigantic faggot to oppose this, and it blows my mind that this board is so full of morning people bootlicking scum.

If you're mad that kids don't play outside anymore blame Nintendo, helicopter parents and pedos. Getting out of school at 4 instead of 230 would still leave plenty of time for bike rides and running around in the woods. There's also these days called Saturday and Sunday that are great for that kind of thing. This perfect current system you love basically requires parents who work normal hours to overschedule their kids so that they don't have to leave in the middle of their work day.

Well, there'd still be breaks. They'd just be shorter and more frequent. I think the major idea is that the long gap between school years slows the momentum of learning, specifically math.

I traveled to Switzerland last year and the students there had two weeks off mid-winter for skiing. I thought that was cool. It's not summer, but it'd still be awesome.

School is little more than glorified babysitting. Not attending for a few consecutive months has little effect on a child's development.

Only shitlibs would take away one of the greatest parts of childhood.

It's an actual school reform take from Ed policy analysts. Not a politicogrifter Michelle Rhee "school reform" take about how as long as kids spend 6 hours per day taking standardized tests made by the company where I'm the CEO then American kids will be smart, and I will be Tigermom to all of America. It's great how all the dumb reptile queers in this thread are trolling for hours of unsupervised time so that they can relive their happy memories of playing doctor with Bobby from down the street, but the small detail about the entire school curriculum being handed over to testing companies by Barack Fucking Obama's Dept of Ed doesn't really bother them much.

Well, to start with, they talk about the shorter school year and how that leads to one less year of schooling in the aggregate, but they don't talk about the university and graduate school years after high school, which is where I suspect Americans make up some ground.

Then they talk about the number of hours in school per week, but do they count after-school activities in that calculation? Especially for middle and high school kids, those can be significant, and they can take the form of activities where kids are learning skills, even if they aren't strictly hard academic skills, such as the newspaper, the science club, the orchestra, etc.

Then they get to their real point, which is that we put ALL of our kids into structured learning environments, ultimately leading to problems. Do the foreign countries against which they're measuring us do the same thing, or do they begin to weed kids out of academic school and into alternative learning programs?

They talk about summer learning loss, but then acknowledge that it's really the poorer and less bright kids who suffer learning loss, whereas the richer and brighter kids EXCEL by doing independent learning and building skills over the summer. "American academics have even invented a term for this phenomenon, “summer learning loss”. This pedagogical understretch is exacerbating social inequalities. Poorer children frequently have no one to look after them in the long hours between the end of the school day and the end of the average working day. They are also particularly prone to learning loss. They fall behind by an average of over two months in their reading. Richer children actually improve their performance." Forgive me if I'm a little skeptical at overhauling the entire educational system's structure to try to help the poorest and dumbest kids. I don't think it will necessarily work, and even if it works a bit, are the marginal gains worth the marginal costs, particularly if some of the costs are at the expense of the benefits of the summer vacation to the top 25% kids?

The one nice thing about a longer summer vacation is that it actually gives kids the chance to pursue something interesting outside of school, or to work a job, which itself provides valuable lessons. Neither of which is really possible during a two-week break.

I'm not saying that the idea has NO merit, just that there are definitely arguments the other way as well.

For better or worse most of the discussion about improving education is specifically focused on those students who need the most improvement. While it's not ideal to structure education around how they may learn best (your point about these solutions not necessarily changing much are obviously the mindset of most Americans), I think it can also be said that those kids who will already outperform or succeed are more flexible to change and can adapt more quickly in new learning environments should we ever adopt the short break/not long summer plan.

That's fine, and I understand your point.

I agree that the better students will adapt, but I think we can both agree that there are benefits to a long break over a short break that simply can't be replicated in a short break, such as the ability to take a meaningful summer job or to do some independent study, etc.

It also has to be said that teachers make more money doing side jobs and really look forward to those summers. If this was ever considered seriously, I think most teachers would be pissed. For a lot, summer is a time to (for lack of a less hippie word) recharge.

You can get the same rich kid benefits with four breaks of a month each or one six-weeker and the rest three weeks spaced out through the year. The underlying point made by the "but, but, but my summer camp!" position is that rich people are adaptable and will figure out a way to come out ahead if the system changes by deploying their resources effectively. This defense of a farm-based school calendar is blatantly fucktarded. We should obviously make teachers work a full fucking year and pay them more in proportion to that extra time. If teaching paid 80K after 5 years we could weed out the pathetic loser teachers in less than a decade, and not have to import 80% of our STEM majors from Asia.

There's a clear stated reason: poor dumbs get dumber when they spend three straight months watching The Price is Right and playing video games. There's no coherent retort to this point. The much better rich snob argument is that Europe has it right and we should weed out the bus drivers at age 14 and only focus educational resources on non-tards. That's at least intellectually defensible. But that will never fly in the US where conservatives openly revel in tricking poors into thinking they could be rich one day and then spending the rest of their time trying to make poors poorer.

This may be true while it is also true that rich kids will graduate from HS worse off in absolute sense.

Also, I don't understand why you are so optimistic that the same positive results can be realized for children of resourceful families from multiple brakes that they currently obtain from the current summer vacation arrangement.

Last, labeling a group "fucktarded" for not enthusiastically going along with a change to a fundamental aspect of society that benefits another group at their expense is beyond ridiculous.

The studies have been referenced all over this thread. Further, the studies I am referencing are the ones used by shitlibs to justify moving away from the traditional summer vacation.

Changes happen, and when there is a possibility of implementing a change that may result in a net benefit for society, it should definitely be explored. But when a change involves conferring a benefit on one group at the expense of another group, fuck you for suggesting that that the group that may end up worse off should shut the fuck up and take it.

Not going to click some time.com article, but I presume they address the big obstacle to this: HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PRACTICE.

This is, in essence, another feminist grab. Instead of boys having the hours of 2PM-5PM to be outside, running, learning about leadership, using their muscles, learning about the fruits of hard work, boys can instead be sitting in American History class at 4:30PM, as the sun starts to go down, and the shrew teacher continues her lesson about Abraham Lincoln's gay lover.

Troof is American school is broke because it is way too big, mostly thanks to shitlibs.

In the same way we all now know that 3 years of law school and a bar exam are useless preparation for practicing most forms of law, a high school diploma (and god forbid a bachelor of arts) are pretty useless to most people's lives.

If we could really let local government manage this stuff we could have bad-ass schools that taught young people in ways that were appropriate. Get boys fixing things and working with their hands or coding. Get girls trained in managing retail or basic medical care. Language immersion for months. Apprentice programs. Work/study. Tracking based on IQ. Etc.

Some 16 year old boys might need 9 months of "summer vacation" in which he learns to build a transmission and some AZN math kid might need 12 straight months of math study.

Instead we have public high schools.

The real problem, especially with black communities, is the practice of plucking everyone who demonstrates an inkling of potential out of their communities and whisking them away to places where alcoholism, sloth, and general debauchery are the norm.

I disagree with this. Assuming shitlibs don't completely gut ARE society, well-adjusted, industrious, punctual people with some commonsense will always be able to live a decent life. However, we should be doing much more to help these people separate themselves from the chaff at an earlier age before they pick up too many bad behaviors from the hopeless hordes.

Your point is one of the reasons I question how effective Romney would be as president. How effective would Romney be in ringing out what little productivity there is to be had from the federal government?

I also think it would be a toss-up between the shitlib government and drooling hicks. All it takes is one or two effective autocrats at the top of the drooling hick government, and it will be wildly successful as far as governments go.

If you read enough articles on this shit, the lib policy makers basically admit their efforts to increase time in school and restructuring vacation are attempts to limit the influence that successful, relatively affluent parents have on their children. They realize they cannot close the performance gap by "lifting up" the underachievers, so they are going to pull down the over achievers, and by over achievers, I mean white boys, since even more of them will go apeshit from spending so much time sitting at their desks without a sufficient outlets for their physical and mental energies.

"American academics have even invented a term for this phenomenon, “summer learning loss”. This pedagogical understretch is exacerbating social inequalities. Poorer children frequently have no one to look after them in the long hours between the end of the school day and the end of the average working day. They are also particularly prone to learning loss. They fall behind by an average of over two months in their reading. Richer children actually improve their performance."

There are still plenty of UMC families with stay at home mothers who spend all summer with their kids, shaping them as individuals. Without a 3 month summer vacation, there will be even fewer stay at home moms and their effect on their children will be curtailed since their kids are always just a couple weeks away from going back to school.

This is not necessarily an argument that all mothers should stay at home. There is a substantial free rider effect at play, but we need to maintain a critical mass of competent, caring, stay at home parents and they have to be able to have an effect on their children. I suspect it is a lack of this critical mass of competent stay at home parents that is one of the primary causes of the current horrible state of most black communities.

Summer vacation is the best time for parents to teach their kids how to succeed as a person. Teach your kid how to go about carrying out a complex project and, perhaps more importantly, how to work hard in carrying it out. The latter point goes far beyond a willingness to grind away, which is all schools teach with respect to work ethic.

Well... But I can do that during the school year as well, no?

I was certainly kept busy as fuck by my parents during the school year

I think your other point around parents who invest in summer activities giving an advantage to their kids is much stronger.

It's not about the specialness of summer to do "big, complex projects" it's about the advantage I give my kids by filling their time productively... And I agree with you that I will be better at that than public schools

Here's the thing though: vast majority of parents are not good at that either due to time or resource constraints.

Therefore, seems like many would benefit from such a change to the school year.

True. So we are left with a decision that may benefit one group at the expense of another group. Such decisions must be made, and as long as such decisions are presented as such a trade-off, I don't necessarily have a problem with it. But arguing that summer vacation is relic of a bygone era with no redeeming qualities and therefore should be done away with is disingenuous. It is an attempt by social justice warriors to paint their opposition as evil racists by forcing them to be the first to point out that not all kids suffer from summer vacation.

Anecdotally, it appears that they do. One of the top elementary schools in Los Angeles in terms of test scores is one of the KIPP academies, which is around 90% black and 85% free-lunch eligible (poor). They keep kids in school from 8-5 M-F plus 5 hours two saturdays per month and additional weeks of school in July. So part of their success can be attributed to applying superstudy azn prep methods, but also limiting the exposure of the kids to their shit family and neighborhood influences.

It sounds horrific compared to my childhood, but these kids aren't missing out on summer camps and piano lessons, they're dodging the shit environments that would have them incarcerated or pregnant before they eventually drop out. These kinds of programs shouldn't be mandatory (partly because they will stop being successful if feral proto-criminal retards are forced into a self-selected population of academic-minded kids) but should be more widely available.

It's ludicrous how early kids have to wake up for school.

I recall having to rise at 5:30 AM every morning just to be able to catch the bus.

It's awful. A multitude of studies show that teenagers on the whole are on a later natural clock than adults and also require more sleep than adults.

And plenty of people, like me, are night owls by nature -- studies show that people with a genetic variant don't reach their peak mental activity until 9 pm, which is when many teenagers would have to go to bed to get 8.5 hours of sleep.

It never ceases to amaze me how morning people fail to understand how lucky they are that the world is made for them and that not everyone is like them. Then again, I find morning people to be far more rigid and uncreative than night people.

On the other issue -- school absolutely sucks. Do people really forget how awful it is? Today, my Facebook was filled with pics of kids going to their first day of school, and it still makes me sick to my stomach. Let kids (and teachers) keep their summer vacations. And enough catering to the lowest common denominator. Cater to the smart kids who this country is going to rely on.

Something I think people arguing for the later school time are forgetting is that if school is later, more activities will just be in the morning, too, to squeeeeeeze it all in because goddammit if a decently parented teenager doesn't have 22 clubs/teams/causes/resume builders going on.

We're American. Any way we move the school day will not actually correct the problems we think we're working to mend. The kids who will get ahead will just do it at different times of the morning/night.

Public school is largely about babysitting. Early start times are the best at broadly serving the babysitting function. They are also nice for teachers who like to get home relatively early in the day.

if this really is a problem, it has a fix, make kids go to bed earlier. i doubt there really is a problem that different school times will fix, however.

Sleep deprivation causes obesity too.

correlation not causation

kids have gotten up early forever.

paperboys and farm kids weren't historically fats

Lol no shit, because they woke up at 5am for a fucking intense workout, not to go sit at a desk for 7 hours.

ah, delivering papers isn't an intense workout

i suppose doing chores would be an intense workout for most of the xoxo crowd

what do sports teams do during their seasons? often have 2 a day practices...one before school, one after. they should be too tired and fat to do this, but they do.

just like everyone else in the world, people feel better when they get more sleep, but sleep deprivation is almost always a self-imposed thing that can be fixed whenever the person wants or needs to fix it

you can't just wave a magic wand and make kids go to bed earlier, system-wide. going to bed earlier might be what YOU would do if you were in this position, and it'd be a good idea, but it's an individual action -- it isn't a policy. the point of policy is to change the parameters these guys face in a beneficial way to create a better system, rather than just thinking about the best strategy for working within the CURRENT system. from that point of view, it's obvious how much more effective later start times would be in reducing sleep deprivation -- you're just never going to duplicate that by trying to propagandize kids to go to bed earlier. if you believe in the harm sleep deprivation causes (and you should), it's a no-brainer that this solution justifies the costs. if on the other hand you believe that going to bed earlier is somehow more virtuous, then, of course, your solution is the preferable one.

why do you believe that kids will keep their same sleep schedules if they don't have to get up as early?

where is the magic wand to pay for this? to paraphrase you, you can't just wave that wand and make school districts have the money to pay for this, possibly beneficial, change.

by giving teachers excellent benefits, we will encourage better teachers to both come to and stay in the field of teaching. this will give great benefits to our children in the long run. for now, let's ignore the fact that we can't afford the costs of this because much of the allure is in pensions that don't need to be paid for now. something will come along and take care of that problem. except it didn't. the logic behind changing school times is pretty similar.

because it has been shown by empirical research that kids get more sleep when they don't have to get up at the early hours that are the norm for american schoolchildren. it's well-established fact and not something I merely "believe".

i'm not looking at the studies, but it's not hard to believe that teenagers, along with everyone else in the world, get more sleep when they don't have to get up.

teenagers on vacation, sleep in, feel better

teenagers on summer break, sleep in, feel better

teenagers on weekends, sleep in, feel better

teenagers with school start times 30 minutes later?

teenagers with school start times 90 minutes later?

i don't doubt that there is a time where kids are not going to go to sleep earlier, say before primetime tv is over, but there is also a time where kids have to be getting out the door, and that's when their parents leave for work. trying to make primetime tv end earlier makes more sense than fucking with school start times. it's equally impractical and won't happen, but at least it doesn't cost people directly
