Reply #132: The school year, as is, [View All]

[sense]

makes no sense. It was created in another century to accommodate the farming schedule. Many Children loose a lot of what they've learned over the long summer. If we had a longer school year, punctuated by more, yet shorter breaks, that would help people retain what they learned, give them the breaks they need to integrate it and lessen the need for repetition that bores the heck out of so many kids.
