Yes. I remember when Manzanita was a "year-round" school. Administrators tried to sell it as a positive, telling folks it would prevent learning loss during the summer. In reality, though, it was as the woman in the video says--a way to deal with a school that was over crowded. Small schools and small classes improve learning and that's why the Gates Foundation funded it. Hopefully, the small school model can survive in Oakland. Keep fighting!
When smaller schools work and help improved overall outcome, then why not pour money into this successful implementation?!!?! CA has been practicing public education backward (not just in education alone but so much more other sectors), treating schools as business & students as head counts is simply wrong. $$$ > people that’s the underlying issue in CA

Teachers Cartel needs to be banned.
Public education isn't a private business, so private business principles shouldn't apply.
