Studies of students who attend high - quality programs for a significant period of time show improvements in academic performance and social competence, including better
grades, improved homework completion, higher scores on achievement tests, lower levels of
grade retention, improved behavior in school,
increased competence and sense of self as a learner, better work habits, fewer absences from school, better emotional
adjustment and relationships with parents, and a greater sense of belonging in the community.
I prefer the number of days the Tioga Pass was closed per year due to snow, adjusted for improved roads and
grading equipment with
adjustments made to
adjustments for the impact of additional personnel due to
increased budgets plus an
adjustment for the lawyer tax based on fears of injury and damages based on negligent road clearing.
