As American educational reformers continue to find innovative ways
to address the global achievement gap, many experts seem to agree
that increasing instructional time is a viable option. In addition
to extending the school day, some educational leaders have looked
to modifying the traditional academic calendar to address some of
the academic losses that occur when students have 8-10 weeks of
summer vacation each year. Re-examining how students spend their
summer vacation, although considered by many to be a cultural
taboo, may be the answer to addressing global competition and
decreasing the national achievement gap. The need for a two month
break from schools harkens back to a pre-industrial time that no
longer is pertinent for our students. Although an answer may be
staring us in the face, are we willing to give up on the American
tradition of summer vacation all in the name of reform and student
success?
