[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think summer break is too long? I think it’s actually too short! I prefer the mid June end and starting after Labor Day. [/quote]

Agree. It is far too short. It is ridiculous that school gets out so late. It is the same number of days just stretched out. Seems easier to have a routine over a longer summer period.[b] Actually I’d prefer a trimester system with longer in between breaks than the usual death by a thousand cuts approach.[/b][/quote]

I would love a trimester system!  Or the standard year-round timeline: 9 weeks in school, 3 weeks off, with a 5 week "summer" break between grade levels.  (But since we can't even switch to the metric system in the US, this is just a dream.)[/quote]
Some schools in the Raleigh metro area are like this .. 9 weeks in school, 3 weeks off year round + 2 weeks off winter break and 5 weeks summer vacation. It was great. There are several “track out camps” options for the 3 weeks breaks. So no problem for working parents. Kids went back to school refreshed after those breaks. Also, the short summer vacation meant the summer slide was lesser. [b]Most importantly, families could go to popular vacation spots during the non-peak times because of those 3 weeks breaks.[/b][/quote]

So disrupt the whole school calendar (change to year round school) so families can travel easier? Ok….[/quote]

I don't know about "most important," but sure, thats a good reason. [b]The school is here to serve us, not the other way around[/b]. [/quote]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.[/quote]
