Education

Year-round schools is about the lousiest idea to come down the pike. There is no evidence kids benefit from it. A few teachers like the frequent breaks, but that's all that can be said in its favor.

I LOATHED YRS when I worked in one. I felt like I was on a treadmill, never to decompress.


Of course, Arne really thinks teachers should work like employees in business settings and be available to parents 24/7 and be on campus until 5 or 6 at night--mandatory. He is talking year round as in the standard 260-day work year, I am sure, not the typical school year with month-long breaks and open during the summers. Teachers would NEVER be paid more in Arne's scheme.

This would cause even MORE burnout of teachers.

He NEVER has an idea that makes any sense. It's all about pleasing his idiotic corporate backers.
