What if...? (7)

What if schooling was year round? Would kids like it? Year round schools go for so long and then they are off for a few weeks. Many systems go 45 days (9 weeks) and then they are off for 15 days (3 weeks). They still get the normal holidays, and spring break. They are not going to school anymore days than usual, they still go 180 days. This system would help with people forgetting stuff during summer. I know I usually forgot the stuff I learned during the summer. This would help try and make that issue better. People argue that 3 weeks or 10 weeks, students will still forget, but I think it would help. Students wouldn't get as lazy during the breaks because they don't really have enough time to get into the lazy groove. It allows parents to schedule vacations better, when other families aren't scheduling their vacations. It would help decrease money spent on childcare since the child will be in the school the majority of the time. Obviously some cons go along with this. It would increase the bills because the utility bills would be continued longer. They would need to have food for the kids for lunch and such. This is something that would need to be voted on by each family to decide if it is a good idea for each area. The students wouldn't like not have their long break, but I think the parents would. It doesn't seem like such a bad idea. It's not like each family goes on a trip for the entire summer. Most families go on vacation for just a few weeks, so this wouldn't put anyone out really. Also, schools have enough budget to spend on the extra bills that would come up with the year round schooling.
