As a teacher who works for a year round program, I can speak to this. We are paid a ten month salary. If you choose to work the summer you get paid an additional 18% of your yearly salary on top of your regular summer checks. Obviously, this is tremendously expensive for the district.
The only reason summer is bearable is because you go on many field trips, there’s only one official classroom observation, there is no testing, etc. All our classrooms are air conditioned. The pay is also great. You’re basically suggesting that teachers work with no extra pay, no air conditioning, no field trips, high anxiety, and worse. I agree that the bathroom would be a huge issue. When the weather is bad we just do what? Get soaked? I’m sorry but you can hire a sitter for the summer and ask them to do workbooks with your kid. I did not sign up for that. [/quote]

Denmark is currently holding their school classes outdoors, or so I read. To be sure, Denmark in May is not Maryland in July. I expect it rains in Denmark, though, and I'm certain that kids and teachers in Denmark need to use bathrooms during the school day. In other words, some of these are problems that not only can be solved, but actually have been solved, somehow, by people.[/quote]

We aren't Denmark.  We don't have the same population, education system, schools or culture.  Where on earth would we do outdoor classes?  How would that work?  What about safety?[/quote]
