The most obvious sign that the education system is broken is that summer break still exists. Every research study shows massive learning loss over summer break. The kids don't plant and harvest the fields anymore. What are we doing folks?
@krdonnelly I've talked to multiple teachers that said they'd quit if they didn't get summers off, curiously enough while also insisting that summers aren't actually "time off" So I think it's entirely plausible that school staff like the break even more than the students.
@redoaksmember @krdonnelly I’ve talked with a hell of a lot more parents who absolutely demand that summer off, and students who can’t conceive of a normal school day in the heat of July/August.
@MathCurmudgeon @redoaksmember @krdonnelly We don't even have air conditioning.
