[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, to be clear year round school is a hit with folks because parents want to spend less on summer camp? That's the only pro agenda I've seen on this thread. Now- tell me that schools are not babysitters & that you value teachers as professionals- not just a place to dump your kids.[/quote] No, because there is some evidence that year-round school would be better for kids. Primarily by minimizing the summer brain drain that results in teachers spending September reviewing stuff the kids learned the year before. Also, I think that giving kids regular, but shorter breaks throughout the year would be beneficial. And, yes, it would be easier on working families. [/quote]
