Karl Alexander - Summer Slide

The video discusses a long-term study on summer learning loss, highlighting how disadvantaged children fall behind academically during summer compared to their middle-class peers. The study, conducted over 25 years, reveals that while these children keep up during the school year, they lack access to learning resources in summer, leading to an achievement gap. The concept of 'summer slide' is introduced, emphasizing the need for strategies to support low-income children and address this social issue.
