[quote=Anonymous]What we have right now is the worst of all options. It's a very short summer, we still do SOLS in early May so there is a lot of wasted time in June, AND we aren't getting the benefit of larger/concentrated breaks during our long school year. Random 3 or 4 day weekends and random Wednesdays off don't help anyone. I suspect most people who like the idea of year round school have elementary aged kids. I would have been fine with it then. But when kids get older, they use the summer to earn money, do internships, or highly-specialized camps, and this summer schedule really cuts in to that time. I just cannot stomach starting two weeks before Labor Day and going 3 weeks after Memorial Day. It's absolutely ridiculous and we'll have basically the same calendar the next three years. I wonder if the new school board will change it. [/quote]
