Once the last bell of the year rings, many students simply look forward to kicking back, having fun, and completely forgetting about school. But experts say it’s a bad idea to stop all learning because students could potentially lose some of what they’ve learned during school.

While the New Year for the rest of the country started on January first, most teachers would agree their “new year” started last fall--and so did all of their goals for the school year. That said, January is the perfect time to review those goals, establish new parameters, and determine if they need to be adjusted.
