[quote=Anonymous]Am I happy this minute, not particularly. My TJ kid was out 10 days, went into TJ summer school for 5 weeks, and started full day marching band three days later. This summer being shorter is killing us. In the long term? Sorry-- APs (and SATss, and SAT subject tests and SOLs) are more important than a cheaper week at the beach. By the end of HS, kids also run into problems with summer jobs, internship programs, etc. You may not care when your kid is in second grade, but at someone point you probably will. Kind of like how the new HS start time suck for MS students, but the payoff is there in MS. I would also take a one week winter break. Many winters, as soon as kids go back, they start missing at least one day most weeks for weather. And it would be great to be out the first week of June. SOLs are over, APs are over, and most kids are just done by then. [/quote]
