She really needs to read a little Florida history before spouting nonsense. We tried year round schools in the late 80’s and 90’s in Florida. Studies showed no difference in student learning and that student loss of learning was just as great on the holidays and breaks as in the summer. Finally, school maintenance costs skyrocketed because of summer use of electricity (air conditioning, etc.). In essence, there was no upside.
@ByronDonalds Shut up the mouth on your liability. NOBODY elected her!
Let me get this straight: American students spend 5 days out every week, 8 hours out of every weekday and 9 months out of 12 in school (excluding teacher planning days and holiday breaks which teacher's unions have demanded). That's approximately 1,440 hours out of 4,300 waking hours - almost a quarter of all waking hours - in school. But it's the measly 480 waking hours they're not in school during summer which are the problem.
Florida's cooked!
