Everything is important. Every moment. I know everyone is tired and we are all looking forward to some time to rest and recover. But we need to stay focused on our work for now.
Research says that students lose 2.5 months of learning over the summer and the time spent recovering the learning in the fall simply puts student learning back even more. This problem is more critical with poor children. I know everyone thinks we're being nice by showing movies on these last days and going on field trips, but really, we're doing some real damage that can't be made up. Students will spend much of their summer indoors watching movies. School is for learning. Step it up people. It's the least we can do.
