[quote=Anonymous][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]

I agree with the first PP. Kids forget material over the long summer.[/quote]

Me too. It surely has to be better for teachers as well. [/quote]
