I recently read in the paper (Yes, we still have a local newspaper) that a few schools would be implementing a year-round schedule. The move was met with opposition from parents who wanted to keep the current schedule (12 week summer break).
This got me thinking. How many people actually support a year-round schedule for schools? And what better way to find out than to poll the Flood?
So, should schools be in session year-round?
CLARIFICATION: There would still be breaks with the year-round schedule, just more evenly spread out.

No. I'm in university and wouldn't be albe to support myself without the chance to do full-time work during the summer. Also, with a course that's seven years long, I'd like to be alble to have some free time at least once a year. Two months of free time is perfect.
