In reality, daycares can’t and won’t be able to adapt to a year round school schedule. Summer camps struggle to find employees when the summer is 8 weeks, can you imagine every 9 weeks finding employees that work full time for three weeks? It’s a logistical nightmare.[/quote]

Summer camps are usually staffed with older high school students and college students.   Older high school students would also be on the same year round schedule so they would be available.  Teachers looking for extra work would also be on the same schedule and available.  College students, likely not.

On the other hand, different school districts could have different weeks off during the school year, allowing some people to work a job between all the different camps.  I remember living in Germany, that each state set the holidays off for their schools and they were staggered so the whole country wasn't on October break at the same time.  Here's an example:

Move to Germany.[/quote]

DP I would move back to Germany if my kids would be able to keep up with German schools. After years in FCPS they would be way behind their peers. We’re stuck here. [/quote]

This.  Foreign exchange students from Germany and Austria even 20 years ago at my college prep boarding school had to take multiple AP courses just to have the year count at all.[/quote]
