[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The strongest arguement I have heard against all year school is how to staff the necessary childcare / camps without college kids being home. This is a reality that can't be dismissed. In the summer there is a surge of additional labor that does not exist at other times. All for a shorter summer but not if that means just shifting the school closures to other times of the year when it is harder to find childcare. [/quote] That might be a valid point. Maybe HS kids? We've used the Winter/Spring break camps and they are always staffed, so it seems to work out. And, my friends who do year round school still do get a whole month in the summer, so it's really only a matter of about 5 weeks. They find it easier to take vacations during other parts of the year, so they often don't need as much childcare. [/quote]
