    students are most likely to outperform peers, 
    both in traditional district schools and at 
    other charters, if they attend schools that are 
    open at least 10 days more than the conventional year.
I have a hard time believing it was those 10 days that made a difference.

Anyways, I was fortunate enough growing up to be part of the middle-income demographic, so didn't share the struggles of the article. The already-long, unchallenging, insulting school days/semesters were a struggle as it was. Extending that awful experience would've been gravely detrimental.
