Show summary

Summarize Argument

Samantha claims that the proposed schedule won’t allow teachers to cover more new material. This is because, accounting for breaks, there will be the same number of school days as before.

Notable Assumptions

Samantha believes that all school days are equal. She assumes that the six two-week breaks will not have a different effect on how teachers are able to teach (i.e. how much material they’ll be able to cover) versus summer vacation.
