Twice as much instruction time may boost student success in algebra!

This enriching article claims that by spending twice as much time teaching algebra, students will ... do better in Algebra!

"Double-dosing had an immediate impact on student performance in algebra, increasing the proportion of students earning at least a B by 9.4 percentage points, or more than 65 percent. "

Putting on my Brainiac Hat (it's shiny!) makes me think that all we have to do now is double the hours of reading and science and history too.  Then our students will rule supreme.

Of course, to do this we need to double the number of hours in a day - are you listening, Stephen Hawking?  Also, please double teachers' salaries.

Taking off my Brainiac Hat now and putting it back in its velvet-lined case.
