[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A billion percent (I am a teacher in a Title I school). We waste so much time getting kids back into routines and making up for massive learning loss over the summer. If this was offered in my district, I would transfer schools to teach on that schedule.[/quote]
[b]I see at our school, that kids watched a movie twice this week[/b] when it was raining or too hot for outdoor recess.[b] I see that they don't do ANYTHING the last 2 weeks of school. I see that the days before each break are empty. [/b][b]I see that my kids are bored because they are not challenged and are not free to do more in school. [/b]I agree school should be year-round, but [b]I also think teachers should be paid more and tech should play a much smaller part [/b]and we should stop teaching for the test and teach for life.[/quote]

+1 on the bolded parts, so no, I don't think adding more school days is the answer, though I would like more breaks during the school year to travel so year round school sounds interesting.[/quote]
