[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I am in minority bc I am all for more school days and shorter summer breaks.  Provided of course they are actually teaching and not just playing for three weeks following SOLs.[/quote]

I also don't really care about shorter summers. Less summer camp I have to pay for. [/quote]

Wait til you kids are older and want to do other things — the summer program one wants to do starts week of June 16. The sports camp on a college campus the other wants to do starts the same. [/quote]

I would just pull them early.[/quote]

Again, wait until your kids are older.  In HS, the last days are not field days and class parties and movies.  The last days are finals.  They have AM and PM finals and the kids have to be there.  When your kids are older, summer is part of building their college app.[/quote]

So, either the last weeks in June are nothing after AP/SOL or they are finals? I thought this whole post was full of people saying nothing happened after June?[/quote] Elementary vs High School.  Two different scenarios.[/quote]

Yep! June in high school and June in elementary school cannot be any more different![/quote]

I have a high school junior and very often they are done with finals way before the end of school.  It's pretty bad luck if you end up with a final in that last week.[/quote]
