I read somewhere that in the old days in the South, school would start for a month or so, and then let out a month or so for the cotton harvest, and then resume again. In our area, although unofficial, only about half the students show up on the opening day of deer hunting season.
For those that rail against the âsummer vacationâ and advocate year-round school attendence, I only have TWO questions. Just how eager were YOU to get a summer vacation and how eager were you to go back to school come Fall? And secondly, how much do you look forward to that vacation fom your job when you start getting burned out at work? And YOUâRE not a child any more.
My sister used to teach in a year round schedule and she loved it! Think â School Jan â March take April off. May â July take August off. Sept â Nov with December off. Students retained more information â families had vacation time if âoff seasonâ School distircts could coordinate so they were of different schedules. Iâd much rather vacation at Disneyland or Wash D.C. in April than August! Florida in December â ahhhh!

When the kids are at school, thatâs when the mother has her holiday.

Personally I think kids should go to school all year round.

With 4 months of school you could live the âgood lifeâ of beingâŠSTUPID.

Poollady â some schools HAVE year round schooling. They have the exact same number of holidays, just spread out over the year.

Susan Newman: The tourist industry lobby demands it, even if few today can afford to tour.

After that train ride, both his parents need a holiday, and some down time.
