[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not read the whole thread but I attended year round school in VA and as a kid, I really liked it. We were not wealthy, so not traveling a bunch, and the summers did get dull in the second half. I liked the frequent breaks. We did 9 weeks on and 3 weeks throughout the year.[/quote]

I did this in California mid 80’s. My brothers and I loved it. [/quote]

As a teacher, 9 on and 3 off sounds amazing [/quote]

As a teacher that travels every summer this is garbage. [/quote]

I travel too but you can still travel, you just can actually travel at different times of year now![/quote]

Overseas travel for 4 weeks is rubbish. Keep the 8 weeks. Not all of us have families around the corner. [/quote]

Oh look, another entitled Stay At Home Mom. Your 8 week summer vacation is not our problem. [/quote]

Oh look, another failing parent trying to justify their weakling’s subpar behavior. My 8 week summer vacation is not your problem indeed. It’s my pleasure.

Oh even better. Now we can fully disqualify your remarks. [/quote]

Summer 2020 was actually 12 weeks when they moved the start of the school year to after Labor Day.[/quote]

I love being a teacher. When I see these posts I love it even more. I hope your kid is one of my failing students.[/quote]

I was a NP that explained summer was actually 12 weeks (someone earlier had said 8 weeks). Not sure why you hope my kid was failing in your class? Just to be clear, my child is in AAP and makes just about straight 4s. We absolutely love our summer breaks and pool time. I supplement all summer. We don’t need or want year round school.[/quote]

Summer THE SEASON is 12 weeks. Summer BREAK is not.

And when it comes to figuring out what needs to happen in education to help address any fallout of what the pandemic and our country’s non response causes kids to go through, the AAP summer travel and pool moms are not going to be the ones whose voices matter the most. As we’ve been saying all along, kids like yours are going to be fine no matter what. Any school scheduling changes will be made with the more vulnerable kids who did not fare as well in this scenario as kids like yours .... you know, all the ones these white moms keep using as leverage to try to get school buildings to open now for their kids who are doing perfectly fine.
