[quote=Anonymous]One reason I am in favor of the longer summer season is because, honestly, I think the students would benefit more from the continuity of a school year with fewer holidays than by having a shorter summer. I am also in favor of the longer summer so that everyone gets a chance to really rest and regroup from the school year. Students would have a longer period of time to pursue other interests and would be more attractive candidates for jobs because they would be available for a longer period of time. Teachers who work would in the summer would also benefit from the longer summer season. As a kid, we had such a school year and certainly didn't suffer from it. Think of all the time that is wasted during the school year as it now stands. By tightening up the calendar and wasting less time on testing and other wasteful activities, I believe we could accomplish more and still have the benefit of a longer summer vacation.[/quote]
