[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do parents like the long summer? After about 6 weeks, my kids lose interest in camps! I find they are expensive and their schedule never really works for me (plus, I have several different kids at different camps so I'm running all over the place half the day!) I can't take that much time off work so I'm working all sorts of crazy hours to compensate.

But when I suggest doing something like the British system (4-6 weeks off a few different times a year), parents say they like the long summer. What is to like about it? [/quote]

We use the swim club that we belong to a lot in the summer. We swim, take lunch or dinner, the kids play, and there are social activities. Why would people join for only 6 weeks? [/quote]

Oh sweetie, you know those clubs are open in the evenings, right? Ours opens Memorial Day weekend and we go after school three times a week until school ends - the kids love it! And same in September - they are open evenings until mid-September (as long as the weather holds and they can find lifeguard staff) and it's so much fun on weekdays after school![/quote]

Please don’t call me sweetie.

They’d be reducing the hours by a lot. People were already griping a bit when hours were reduced due to schools opening 2 weeks before Labor Day. [/quote]
