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. Summer break was great because it was long. If I had it and loved it, I want my kids to be able to enjoy it. I would fight such a change. Maybe even fist fight parents that would try and change it where I will live.
