Is there any talk of ramping up summer school?

Asked by JLeslie (65457points) January 29th, 2021 from iPhone

By summer most teachers will probably have the opportunity to be vaccinated. Some teachers took a leave of absence because of covid and many parents are concerned their children aren’t staying on level. Summer school could catch children up and give teachers a chance to earn some income.

Have you heard any talk about it? Would anyone really want to do it? Or, is it depriving children of summertime fun that they should be able to enjoy?

What about giving children a month off now, and adding a month to the end of the school year? Just in one month the country could intensely focus on vaccinating teachers.

In Memphis, a lot of public school teachers won’t go to work. They just approved $1 million to pay for subs to teach. Article regarding the situation: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.commercialappeal.com/amp/4214467001
