In PHQP 0022 Reliability And Validity Testing, Jeff reflects on the long, unstructured summer vacations of his childhood, contrasting them with today’s shorter, adult-scheduled breaks that limit children’s freedom to self-regulate and pursue their interests. Then, he critiques the lack of reliability and validity testing in early learning accreditation and quality rating programs.

I'm Jeff Johnson. Thanks for pushing play on with the show. So, recently, coming back from Minnesota where I did a live weekend training, I had a great conversation with an Uber guy. We were about the same age and we got talking about summertime back when we were kids and going to the drive-in movies and jumping our big wheels off of things and fireflies and adults not really worrying about us and letting us play and have a good time and how that wasn't always perfect. It was often wonderful playing outside till the streetlights came on, all of that kind of stuff, and it was a nice chance to reminisce with a peer, which got me thinking about topic one for this episode of a two-topic episode. A couple weeks after that, just a couple days ago now, I run into a kid. He comes over to say hi to Gigi, my pup, when we're out on a walk and I say, hey, I hear you. Yesterday was the last day of school. He looks at me like I'm an idiot and he says, no, I have to keep going back until I'm almost an adult. He's not off of school. He's just on a short break until he's got to go back and then go back and then go back until he's almost an adult. That kind of struck me as funny because back in the day, back when me and that Uber driver were kids, summer vacations seemed to last forever. I dug into this a little bit and it turns out that total school days hasn't changed much since the 50s and maybe even earlier, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s. It ends up being around 180 days of school and every state and every district's got their own thing, but that seems to be about the average across the U.S. What has changed is how those days are disbursed. We used to have a big block of time off during the summer, back in the day. It was almost from the end of May, beginning of June, to the end of August. Now it is often much, much shorter than that. The days off hasn't changed. They disperse them different because there's more days off during the school year for teacher work days and slightly longer spring breaks and those kind of things. Maybe those things are good, but what those things are mostly for is to make things more convenient for adults. Look, I get that, but what's missing is those short summer vacations do kids a disservice because we don't have the time to decompress and be away from adults and follow their own interests and have that freedom that we had back in the day. That's something that's missing because one of the troubling things about modern childhood is kids are always under the thumb of somebody else's schedule and somebody else's timeline. It's really hard to learn how to self-regulate and know your own mind and follow your own interests when somebody's always shuffling you from this activity to that activity. Longer summers would do a lot for kids. Of course, that's not going to happen. On topic two, that was kind of depressing, and this topic is going to be depressing too, if you want to take it that way. It gets in my head every once in a while. I got to think about reliability and validity testing a couple weeks ago, and I decided we needed to do an episode about it because a lot of times in early learning settings, we don't think about this. Reliability and validity testing is a thing. Accreditation programs and quality rating systems should take advantage of this thing,
