ZACK PLAIR, Managing Editor BETH PROFFITT Advertising Director The MICHAEL FLOYD Circulation/Production Manager Opinion Dispatch MARY ANN HARDY Controller Our View Cartoonist view Academic summer camps can reinforce, enhance learning We are all familiar with the phrase “use it or lose it.” Most often it is applied to our physical condition. When muscles are not regularly tested and strengthened, they become weaker, the body less efficient. Here with the official start of summer just six days away, we urge parents to think of this phrase in another context. Studies has shown that our kids suffer learn- ing losses if they are not engaged in educational activities. Students typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of the summer than at the beginning. Math skills, in particular, seem to suffer most — about two months of grade-level equivalency according to a 1996 study. Until recent years, most summer camps were built around fun activities and sports. There is nothing wrong with that, of course. Kids need to be active throughout the year, and summer break affords them opportunities to spend more time on non-academic interests such as arts, sports and hobbies. But of late, there has been a very positive trend in camps. There are more and more summer camps geared toward learning. In the Golden Triangle, our colleges give area kids a far greater range of these opportunities than might be other- wise available. East Mississippi Community College offers a coding camp and a PC Repair Camp. The school also provides what it calls Camp Amp, where students in grades 7-12 are exposed to local industries and the kinds of jobs they offer. It’s an excellent way to apply what they have learned in the classroom to the real-life work environment. Among others, MUW offers a summer camp for gifted students, again building on what stu- dents have learned. Consider it the opposite of apathy. It’s a boot camp for the brain. Mississippi State offers a wide variety of academic camps, everything from accounting to horticulture and landscaping to rural medicine and science to retail entrepreneurship. While the offers are many, sometimes the opportunities are limited. For students of low-income families, these camps may not be affordable. That is particular- ly unfortunate because studies show that more than half of the achievement gap between lower and higher income students can be attributed to unequal access to these summer educational programs. For many, the Boys & Girls Club of the Gold- en Triangle is an affordable option. The clubs in Columbus, Starkville and — for the first time — West Point engage kids in a wide variety of edu- cational programs. We should maximize the benefit of all these camps and one way to do that is to provide schol- arships for students to attend these camps. We encourage you to get in touch with camp directors to learn how to sponsor a child. Building healthy minds, as it is with building healthy bodies, should be a year-round endeavor. Let’s help our students use their learning instead of lose it.

STARKVILLE — Cole Gordon has had plenty of frustrating moments. The junior pitcher from Tampa could have fallen into an extended rut after his earned run average climbed above 6.00 following an outing in which he surrendered five earned runs in 1 1/3 innings in a 10-1 loss to Vanderbilt on March 17. Gordon also could’ve lost faith after giving up seven earned runs in four appearances (3 1/3 Gordon innings) in April, but he continued David Miller/Special to The Dispatch Kyle Bronson, seen above competing in the 2016 Cotton Pickin’ 100, hopes to build on a pair of top-five finishes at to stay the course.

On Wednesday, a cardi- nal in the Roman Catholic Church said that separat- ing mothers from their ba- bies was “immoral.” Sessions said many of the recent criticisms were not “fair or logical and some are contrary to law.” “I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Ro- mans 13, to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order,” he said. “Orderly and law- ful processes are good in themselves and protect the weak and lawful.” Last month, the attor- ney general announced a “zero tolerance” policy that any adult who enters the country illegally is crimi- nally prosecuted. U.S. pro- tocol prohibits detaining children with their parents because the children are not charged with a crime and the parents are.
