I don't know if it has been discussed in your state but ere they are thinking of moving summer vacation to the winter, making it 1 month, or getting rid of it completely..

What is your view on this?

I can see parents think it is too long but the kids have been in school for almost 9 months and they deserve a break

The only thing there talking about in my state is that there going to remove summer vacation completely and just give us more days off. So instead of having a 9 week holiday. We would split it up into like 2 weeks every 3 weeks.

That's how the schools out here used to work. We just recently started doing traditional schooling where we have summer breaks, and don't run on "tracks." I find it to be much nicer with a summer break.

@goergia I think that is wrong.. Why take little breaks. Don't you think the kids won't remember school work.. The summer is a time off.. YOu learn new stuff the next year.. If they shorten mine then I will flip... I don't know how they will edit the cirriculum. They.. will... have to ... drag...everything out

It would suck having no summer vacation. :S

That "little breaks" idea is crap too. >.<

I would rather be homeschooled. :X

The problem with home schooling is you don't have summer breaks.. I think that is wrong too.. But then again they only have like 3 hours of school each day.. So what you think about that.

....hence the :X smilie.

I personally think summer break should be longer. It should begin May 24th and go on through September 10th. B)

1 month longer.. It is a suggestion.. But they would probably counter with shortening Christmas Holiday and no PD days

Summer does seem long but then again school seems longer.. Do you think vacation should be 2 months in winter or summer.

no talk about it in my state, but I don't agree with it. In a way I think it should stay with the colleges, and that would kinda mess things up becuase of how the four terms are distributed... My district is already moving the start of the school year back to sept 22, and combining all four day weeks into five day weeks, and making thanksgiving week a week long... and adding extra time to christmas break, but the kids get out of school like June 30...
