[quote=Anonymous]No!!! It would kill summer internships for high school. The experience the kids get from that is just as valuable. Since the rest of the country doesn’t do year round it puts our kids at a huge disadvantage. There is more to education that school.... other kids get that in the summer. Jobs, internships, sports like swim team, etc... Yes, you can do some of this with school.... but it isn’t the same experience - going to a job 9-5. And most internships and jobs (that are research or other oriented) only have 9-5 hours. So... you can’t do it while in school. Not all kids need catch up from this year. But they all need the activities and engagement they missed out on. So.... don’t punish those who did ok with DL or worked extra hard for it. I do think offering full year or summer for those who need it is a great option for those kids. [/quote]
