If we (collectively as a system) were doing our job, no kid would need us to assign them HW over the summer for them to keep learning.

Interesting perspective Metroskil and tplcmisterp

I think year-round schools but be more effective, not 12 months but maybe 10 1/2 -11 months with less interruptions during school time.

All students in our district have summer reading assignments, many of the high classes also have assignments. I do see what you mean.

Our schools assign reading to all students over grade 2 over the summer.
