[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a two parent working household and I prefer more days off school during the year for the kids and a shorter summer break. 9 weeks off is not a short break anyways.  The total number of school days remains the same, but kids get more days off during the longer school year to rest, recuperate, and re-energize.  The money I am saving for having one week less summer break, I will put towards more care during the year on the days off.  The better approach for students is to have a school year with more breaks. There is no need for a long summer break, which is counter-productive as lots of material needs to be retaught at the beginning of the following year.

Personally I would prefer a year-round approach to school (i.e,., with 2-3 weeks off after each trimester).  Sure, school functions as childcare for kids, but ultimately the primary purpose is to benefit the kids education and that is what a calendar with more frequent breaks does.  [/quote]

Good thing you’re not in charge. [/quote]

Angry, much? A survey was sent out and the calendar reflects the results of the survey.  Are you just angry that the majority does not agree with you?  You will have to learn to deal. I’m sure you will survive the change - moving 5 days off to the school year instead of having those days off in the summer. Bunch of people in uproar without stopping to see what the actual change is.[/quote]
