[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine if we had year round school. Kids could actually have time to recover from illnesses. People could take vacations and not miss school. Instead we get this long hot summer that is just too long for kids. Too hot to travel. [/quote] No. Nice long summer away from having to ask permission to go to the bathroom, forced association with people you may not even like and being told what to do constantly. Read what you want, paint all day of you feel like it, kick a soccer ball in the yard with your friends, stay up late talking to dad sometimes. School can be great but NO to the constant mental load of year school. Just NO.[/quote] You do know that "year round school" receives the same amount of breaks, they are just distributed throughout the year instead of just in the summer? So kids actually have more frequent breaks with year-round school, it's just not all in the blazing hot mosquito laden summer. [/quote]
