Question ID:PT52 S1 Q9 Passage:Robert:  The school board is considering adopting a year-round academic schedule that eliminates the traditional three-month summer vacation.  This schedule should be adopted, since teachers need to cover more new material during the school year than they do now.Samantha:  The proposed schedule will not permit teachers to cover more new material.  Even though the schedule eliminates summer vacation, it adds six new two-week breaks, so the total number of school days will be about the same as before. Stem:Which one of the following, if true, is a response Robert could make that would counter Samantha's argument?   Correct Answer Choice:DChoice A:Teachers would be willing to accept elimination of the traditional three-month summer vacation as long as the total vacation time they are entitled to each year is not reduced.

Choice C:In school districts that have adopted a year-round schedule that increases the number of school days per year, students show a deeper understanding and better retention of new material. Choice D:Teachers spend no more than a day of class time reviewing old material when students have been away from school for only a few weeks, but have to spend up to a month of class time reviewing after a three-month summer vacation. Choice E:Students prefer taking a long vacation from school during the summer to taking more frequent but shorter vacations spread throughout the year.
