Well, I suppose if all kids are doing is sitting in front of Xboxes and Televisions, why not have year round school. But, when I was a kid, summer vacation was when we got to be kids and learned things that can't be learned in school. Summer vacation is when us kids in the neighborhood got together, without much adult supervision, and learned how to get along with each other, how to laugh, how to work as a group, how to compromise, how to fight, how to make up, how to be bored, how to dream and so much more. There's more to be learned to be ready for adult life than reading, writing, math and year-round adult supervised school can teach.
