[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think year round school [b]could[/b] be great if implemented correctly. The 8 weeks in school then 2 weeks break (60/20) model is the best one. It gives a good amount of teaching time but also allows for real breaks in between for both the teachers and the kids. Families that need/want to travel overseas have a longer time to do so. Intercession camps could also implement a fair amount of continuous camp activities whether it is sports, art, music, or academically related. I don't ever think my kids get anything out of the short 1 week camps. And as a bonus, these weeks don't always fall on the typical school break weeks so if you did want to plan a vacation, you can go without paying high season prices! [/quote] Agree 100%!! And put it in the notes section of the survey. Btw, I'm a SAHM.[/quote]
