Also, I’m in favor of kids going to school year round. Take 2 week breaks at various times throughout the year but year round just makes more sense.
With the increased need for a 2 parent household; I am surprised there aren't more people pushing for this. Of course, you'd have the teacher unions pushing back because they need their 10-15 week break

Screw teachers. Pay them for the hours worked.
Or keep the same number of days off, which is a fricking shitload, not just summer, and spread it out more.

Year around school has the same amount of breaks, just spread out instead of one big summer chunk.
A few years back they converted a couple schools to year around calendars here and the pushback wasn’t from teachers. It was from parents, largely because of them feeling they shouldn’t get time off throughout the year. When they let the parents vote whether to keep it or get rid of it, they overwhelmingly voted to go back to the old calendar.
