[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good for DC. We come from Europe, where summer breaks from school are 3-4 weeks shorter than in the US (and kids perform better on PISA tests than in this country).  Kids here do tend to lose ground academically over the summer, unless they're put in an academic program, at least part-time.

FYI--The US also has far superior economic growth than Europe does, particularly the Eurozone. So clearly their great education system isn't leading to much beyond economic stagnation. [/quote]
What good does your economic growth do for most people here? I've never seen poverty in Europe, particularly in Eurozone, as I've seen here.
I come from Europe and summer break has always been 3 months. We are relatively new to Pisa, but still #1 country in Europe in 2015.
Summers for us are all about travel, concerts, parties, friends, the sun and the beach. Best part is that kids ages 6 and up can stay home without parents for extended hours. Free play summers without camps and parents are the best.[/quote]
