He's right.
They've done studies that have shown that the education gap between rich and poor students primarily has grown during summer vacation.
Children who's parents "force' them to do educational things over the summer get ahead. While those who don't fall behind. Usually it's the rich who fall in camp A, and the poor in camp B.
Our summer vacation is one of the largest anywhere.
Even with thsi change though it wouldn't get to the root of the problem. Making a large portion of America's parents actually play an active role in their children's lives rather then a passive role.
