Abstract

Over the three-month American summer break, school students regularly diverge. In high-income families, students keep learning, thanks to museum trips, instructional camps and home tutoring. In low-income families, students slip backwards, losing one to two months' worth of learning by the time they return to school. According to one study, the 'summer slide' accounts for two-thirds of the difference between poor and rich students (Alexander 'et al.' 2007).
