So taking time out of your summer as a student and sacrificing fun for the love of learning is “gaming the system,” and needs to be abolished? No wonder the United States school system is messed up…
Who’s going to teach them? We can’t even hire enough teachers for the shitfestival that education is now, how do you find more teachers?
Once you get those teachers who are skilled at driving advanced classes, would you require them also work in the poor performing classes?
That’s a conditions trap, now that good teacher is dealing with the administration and trauma burden of the low performing class making it complex for them to perform in the advanced class.
Would you make them specialists? That’s an equity and human resources management nightmare. Whid want to work in a class of hard students when classes of dreamy well behaved engaged kids is a possibility
Do we keep it the same and continue to systemically disadvantage everyone?
There are no easy answers. The entire education system needs to be invented and rebuilt from the ground up.
Why take these summer breaks in the first place? Are your kids needed on the farms still? Or is it because salty teachers are underpaid and having summer breaks is th only way the US can convince them to work. Where is the data that summer breaks help any students at all? Poor or rich smart or lazy? What about the kids that don’t get lunches when they are not in school? Summer slumping is a detriment to all, to society. I don’t see many teachers willing to stand up to that as the underlying issue, and I don’t see how it’s fair to blame those that are either willing or able to fight it independently with additional learning. They are not the ones to aim your laser at.
Wow. Pandering to the lowest common demoninator? Let me guess, was this in US?

Smart and lazy aren’t opposites.
Yep, that’s correct. You must have been in a good school system.

I am not pandering but sincerely discussing a social problem I experienced in my, yes, American high school.
