[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I agree. Summer is also an important time for kids to learn from experiences that happen outside the school structure. I am completely in favor of Governor Hogan's efforts to "let summer be summer." But of course some adjustments will have to be made within the school calendar to accommodate the change. I agree with the previous poster who said we should go with the plan to eliminate religious holidays and keep Spring Break. Spring Break comes at a time when families could use a break from school. This is not true of the Jewish Holidays which occur just when lessons are getting fully underway.[/quote] "Let summer be summer" was actually Peter Franchot's slogan, and I thought that it was pretty silly. Summer is summer, regardless, whether kids are out of school for 10 weeks or 12 weeks. And letting school districts set their own calendars doesn't somehow nullify summer.[/quote]
