Drehle's point is that if students don't participate in some sort of summer enrichment program they will lose about a month of what they learned in school.

The author of the students essay fully disagrees with Drehle's view. He makes valid points that supports Drehle's point but also discredits Drehle's argument toward a specific group of children in only certain parts of city's.

I think that his claims are true to an extent.He is right when he says that most kids now wouldn't participate in enrichment programs due to the excessive technology & he's also right when he says that we should attend these programs for the under privileged kids to keep up with the more privileged kids.

The author has a lot of faith in his argument. He states that not all blame can be on the "summer slide," but the teachers or student need to take credit for it as well. 


I personally liked this essay. This essay gave me a new perspective of the original article. I would give this essay an A just like Victors. 

How does this essay compare to Victor's essay?
