[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of the problems I have with year round schooling.

During the shorter breaks, the kids always have homework.  In elementary, it was very thick packets to prepare for standardized testing.  In middle school and high school, it tended to be projects and studying for finals (which MCPS had done away with - but that’s a separate issue). They get homework over the summer (which is something I oppose -  separate issue), but at least with the longer summer vacation they can do it and still get a break.

If they ever decide to go to year round schooling, kids won’t be getting actual breaks, they’ll just be working from home.

Lived in a year round school system.  No homework over most breaks.[/quote]

It’s great that your system didn’t give homework over breaks, but MCPS does.  I’m not saying that year round schooling inevitably comes with homework over breaks. I’m saying that a school system that DOES give homework over breaks shouldn’t go to year round schooling.

It goes to show that you can't please everyone. Some parents feel there's too much homework whereas others believe there isn't enough and children aren't adequately prepared for college. Both can't be true. [/quote]
