[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like it. No one needs a 12 week summer. 7 or 8 weeks is plenty. The frequent 3 day weekends are a lovely break for my kids. I wish a few of the holidays were consolidated into fall break and a mid February break instead of days off on Tuesday, but I get that they’re not randomly selected days.[/quote] False. Highs schoolers who want to participate in internships, summer programs (many of which are in different parts of the country or even the world and can last 6 or more weeks over varying portions of the summer), and/or have jobs plus maybe have a few weeks of actual vacation/down time need a 12ish week summer vacation. For elementary 7 or 8 weeks might be fine, but when you have a high schooler with specific interests they want to pursue over the summer -- which helps to build their resume for college applications -- it's completely different.
