[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way in hell for us. We need our vacation time to stay just as it is. I wouldn't want my kids to be in school year round. That's for kids and schools that have children who are poorer and struggle both financially and academically. No fault of theirs, just the reality of what they were born into.[/quote]

Yes but the reality is a majority of people on this list have children enrolled and succeeding in your local public school.  That means you support the idea of public education already.  But to really say you are FOR public school education, it helps to look outside your particular school.  Helping ALL schools, in ALL 8 wards (wards many of us have never driven through let alone lived in) improve student outcomes should be the larger focus.  Most children in DC are far behind, that's a fact.  And more time in school to be exposed to new ideas, or maybe at a minimum a teacher who doesn't feel rushed, may be to all our benefit  But if we aren't interested in looking out for these children being left behind, maybe we should be choosing another schooling system.[/quote]
