Or weeks off just in whatever month. At least in the summer you can plan a long stretch of camp.[/quote]

I've asked around and it all involves some hybrid of options, none of which sound like they'd work for my family. I'd much prefer a four-day school week and several 2-week long breaks throughout a year-round school. But that's truly just mem [/quote]
