Dear David;
I just want II say that I wish the children of St. Catherine's School as they enter Week II of their year round school experiment. Edmonton Catholic School District was right to try this experiment out. Right and brave. No extra school hours, but intermittent, shorter breaks throughout the school year II give kids a better chance at higher academic standards by being in a class setting year round.
From the reports I have seen in newspapers and on television, the kids seem happy and healthy. As well as excited about the different style and pace of learning. As well as adapting to new challenges and meeting new friends and strengthening bonds with old friends, as well as their teachers & support staff. I believe this pilot project will be very strong in terms of academic results yielded and increasing overall childhood cognitive function(s.) Lets hope IV the best and these year round students become educational superstars!
Blessings,
Rory
