This chart is from the National Association for Year-Round school. As you can see, many schools are realizing this way of schooling is more effective because kids are less likely to "forget" things and in turn, causing standardized test scores to increase. It also is beneficial for the kids, in that they are less likely to ruin their summer with drugs, alcohol, and other risky behaviors. With more and more districts moving to this calender, the outcome of children looks better. Could this movement to a new calander make for a better future for the kids?
