Alfie Kohn wrote an interesting, maybe slightly provocative blog post on summer loss, “the implication being that it’s risky to give kids a three-month vacation from school because they’ll forget everything they were taught”. There is much evidence for this, but Kohn asks us to take a look from a different perspective:

“Summer learning loss? It’s just a subset of life learning loss — when the learning was dubious to begin with.”

In the meantime, I’m enjoying summer, what about you?
