Re: Extend summer vacation?

Never.

I can't stand how long summer break is now. If it was up to me, I would get my county to go to school all year long, having one or two weeks off here and there.

My county did something stupid last year. The parents voted for us to have a longer summer, so they started school the very last week of August. All the kids hate it. They cut our Christmas break down by a week, and since the AP tests are in May, we sit in school a whole month doing nothing but busy work. When school first started, I think we went almost two months without one day off. That lead to many problems at our school with kids.
