[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also would staff salaries change anyway, given that they'd be teaching the same number of weeks? It's just that their time off is more distributed throughout the year, so why would it cost more?[/quote] It wouldn’t! People hear year round and think it means more days. It doesn’t. It means the breaks are split up more evenly throughout the year to prevent slide and promote info retention better. [/quote] It is hardly a novel concept either- most countries don't do a 9-12 week break, we are not the only ones but its also not the majority. And the idea that "this is something for working parents", as if that's a negative or shouldn't be forced on the "rest of the population"...consider that its only about 18% of households that have a stay at home parent. Working parents are the vast majority and the drivers of policy should reflect that.[/quote]
