Let's hear it for year-round school
Looks like we're finally moving back the calendar so kids will start school later in the month of August. I don't think it's a good idea. I would prefer year-round school, so students aren't out of the classroom for so many weeks at one time. Vacation time would be spread around the calendar. I bet that would help them retain information a lot more. Not to mention that it would reflect 21st Century lifestyles.

I am not sure that year-round school is such a good idea. It might make the politicians happy because it would give our teachers more time to drill the kids on testing techniques and prepare them for the FCAT. I will bet money that -- IF they go to year-round school - THAT is exactly what will take up the extra time.
Our kids get enough of that already -
It is highly unlikely that they would use this time to actually TEACH something to our kids.
As long as Bush is governor = the only goal is higher FCAT scores.
The other major problem with year round school is money. I know most people think the teachers should just go in and work out of dedication, but it would help to pay a better wage. If you go to year round school, be prepared to pay more to the teachers.
Even if we don't go to year round schools our teachers deserve a better wage.
