[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^And some of us sacrifice to give iur kids unstructured time.  I don't want kids in school year-round when it's bad policy but someone else finds it convenient.[/quote]

It's not bad policy. It's at worst, neutral. There is some suggestion it may be academically beneficial.

Your statement is ironic, because you act as if you are beleaguered by people forcing you to go by an oppressive schedule. Almost all schools have summer off... and there's really only a cultural reason for it. It's totally subjective. Unstructured time can come in a million ways. And you are expecting everyone to revolve around your "sacrifice"... as if no one else sacrifices.

No, actually I would be just fine with a choice.  I do fear DCPS making it extended year for everyone because that is how it has been implemented so far.

I take your point that people who prefer year-round are stuck with a different system.  I just don't want it to go 360 degrees in the other direction.[/quote]
