[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I prefer the longer school year.  [/quote]me too [/quote]

I prefer the longer school year as well. Actually, I wish our 180 days were spread out over the whole year with 3-week breaks in between the quarters and a 5-week break in the summer. That would be awesome![/quote]

Many local pools would probably shut down. They wouldn’t survive a 5 week summer financially. I know it seems frivolous to some, but many wouldn’t want that to happen. [/quote]

They could just start recruiting college kids and international kids. I guarantee that local pools would find a way. I mean, they are open all summer long now even though HS kids are in school for half of June and half of August, right? [/quote]

I wasn't thinking about the guard staff. I was thinking about how many people would choose to not pay for only 5 weeks of use. [/quote]

When I was a kid in Texas, the local pools were open from the end of April to the end of Sept. Kids were in school until the end of May and then returned to school at the beginning of August. Families still bought pool passes because kids went to the pool after school and on weekends. At our pool in Fairfax, tons of kids go to the pool after school and on weekends when school is in session. I know you do not want to think so, but pool and school CAN coexist easily.[/quote] 9 or 10 weeks is a far cry above 5 not to mention spending weeks in HOT SCHOOL BUSES![/quote]

Yeah, you must not be from the south. You want hot school buses? Try riding in one on a mid-August afternoon in Houston, TX.[/quote]
