[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When parents complain about all the random days off, most of us want these removed because we want a longer summer break, not a shorter one. But I’ve long thought the higher ups were trying to backdoor in year round school with these ridiculous schedules.

I don’t get how year round school works for high school kids. How can they do pre-college programs? Have a summer job? Take a summer class? Not to mention fun stuff like summer swim team for all ages. [/quote]

Summer break in year round schooling is usually longer than other breaks.  Many pre college programs are 4-6 weeks.

Just because we’ve always handled the summer one way doesn’t mean it’s still the right approach.  People and organizations will change and adapt to the new model.[/quote]

Yes, many pre-college programs are 4-6 weeks long, but if the entirety of summer break is 4-5 weeks long, what are the chances those programs align with those dates? Even if they did, that’s your entire summer. [/quote]
