Read the passage from "The Downside of No Downtime for Kids."
Few children get to experience the kind of summers idealized in movies-playing games and riding bikes with
their friends in the neighborhood. Research shows that can mean weight gain and a loss of academic skills,
especially for low-income children. A 2007 study found one measure of weight increased up to twice as fast for
some children during the summer when compared to weight gain during the school year. Other research
concludes children can lose as much as two months of math and reading proficiency over the summer.
Summer programs can also be a place where kids who struggle to focus in traditional classrooms can flourish,
according to Sarah Pitcock, CEO of the National Summer Learning Association.
"These are kids told throughout the school year that they're a problem, that they're bad kids," she said. "And so
often, we see those kids excel and become leaders in a summer setting."
