[quote=Anonymous]I think the school year is too long. DCPS is very test prep focused, and my child needs time to explore the world in other ways, via travel/language immersion, computer programming camps, science camps. Also since so much of this new school curriculum is still an "evolving process" -- for example, we are on our third math textbook series in as many years -- summer affords time for me to help my DC build strong fundamentals, as I work with DC at home. Other families may have childcare needs, and/or cannot afford camp/summer travel and I respect that...maybe some sort of optional summer academic camp that would follow after the close of the traditional school year?[/quote]
