[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Agree with 16:32. Our kids don't need long breaks from school. I wish the summer break is much shorter. [/quote]

It depends on the school. If you go to a private school with lots of extra classes like art, drama, PE multiple times a week, and more stimulating activities then I would agree. However, MCPS is a soul sucking experience for kids. Summer is a great time to get the physical activity kids need, science, activities and all the other things that are missing in school today.I think that my kids learn more from some of their camps now than school. They certainly have more fun. [/quote]

Soul sucking, really?  PE is required even in HS (which I actually found to be a waste of time for a kid who was involved in both school and outside sports).  And there are art requirements and tech ed reqirements (which is basically graphic design), and tons of opportunities for music both in and out of class.  I found that MCPS actually required more extras than our private school and there are more opportunities for outside activities than at a smaller private school.[/quote]
