[quote=Anonymous]As a working parent, I think it would be a terrible idea childcare wise. It's easier to find care in the summer with college students out or even to find one person for a decent length of time. Having many breaks would be difficult for us to handle. I thought last year in FCPS was the perfect length of summer. It was about 2 weeks less than the year before it. We can only afford to go on one vacation a year. Grandparents often leave in the winter to go somewhere warmer and we already have a hard time with the snow days to find care during this time plus winter sports are expensive. Having a long summer allows my children to take a couple sports and academic camps and go on a vacation before starting school again. We also join a swim team and it's easier to handle this schedule when school is out. With all the days off in the winter, we feel our kids are already getting a long break.[/quote]
