Year-Round Schooling in Philly: A Good Idea?

🎙️ In this episode of the Ern and Iso podcast, the duo takes a side step from their originally scheduled episode to discuss a pressing local issue: Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker's proposal for year-round schooling. With plans to implement this in 20 schools initially and expand city-wide the following year, Ern and Iso dive deep into the potential impacts and challenges of this radical change. 📚🏫

They question the practicality of year-round schooling in a city where hot days often lead to early dismissals and explore how this could affect the free-thinking capabilities of students, essentially preparing them for the workforce rather than fostering creativity. The discussion also touches on the potential disconnect between parents and children, as summer vacation—an essential time for family bonding—may be eliminated. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💭

Ern and Iso raise concerns about how this system might affect different groups of students. Will high achievers continue to excel while others become more frustrated? They also consider the home challenges some kids face, such as taking care of younger siblings, which can make school the last thing on their minds. 🏠📚
