[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of us like a shorter summer. I like having fewer weeks of camp to arrange and pay for.

I wish they would go truly year round so that we have [b]only had a month of summer[/b], spring break was two weeks, there was a true fall break, etc.

D[b]CPS intentionally seeks to keep summers shorter in order to keep kids occupied and reduce child are burden/costs on working parents.[/b][/quote]
-------------------
So people would be in school during 8 or 9 weeks of summer when they should be at the beach, camps on vacation etc.
------------------
Similar number of non school days except they have R/PD days and no school on election day. Is child care magically free on those days?
How about during a fall break and double spring break?
---------------------------------
Don't get me wrong I would not be against a two week spring break but 1 month of summer would be awful.[/quote]

No one is on vacation or at the beach for 8-9 weeks of summer. And if they somehow are, they can go to the beach for 5 weeks in the summer, and go skiing for 3 weeks in january instead, or to the lake for 3 weeks in the fall, or to europe for 3 weeks in the spring.[/quote]
