[quote=Anonymous]I really wish MoCo would consider a year-round calendar with a much shorter summer and several longer breaks scattered through the year. Less summer slide, less kids missing school for family vacations because no one can afford to fly a family during peak summer (and with our growing multi national population it is becoming an ever bigger issue), and less burnout through the year. We seem to be hanging onto the old system just because that’s how we used to do it, but it really doesn’t make sense anymore. I’d rather my kids had several multi-week breaks through the year to relax, do a camp, or travel than the long slog they have now... better to be in school in the heat of August and then having a break and playing outside in the glory days of October.[/quote]
