[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want a shorter summer break (6 weeks) and two weeks between quarters. So, I would like school to go to the end of June and start in Mid-August. Having a long summer break[b] is based on old agriculture practices[/b] and not really an efficient way to educate our children. Plus, I would move the end of year testing to June. [/quote] Are you sure? https://www.professorbuzzkill.com/summer-break-myths/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/09/04/myth-behind-summer-break/ [i]But most of the debates over the contours of the school year are premised on the historical myth that summer break stems from a time when children needed to work on the farm — a myth that biases these debates and ignores the challenges that prompted the introduction of summer vacation and that still exist today.[/i] https://www.pbs.org/newshour/education/debunking-myth-summer-vacation https://blog.tcea.org/summer-break-history/ [/quote]
