[QUOTE="donna723, post: 309936, member: 1883"] I would agree with the year-round school and think it's a good idea. How silly for us all to still be on a schedule that was set up for when everyone lived on farms and the kids were needed at home during the summer months! I don't think a longer school day would work everywhere though, especially in the rural areas. As it is, we already have kids who have a 45 min. to an hour ride each way on a school bus, and some are out waiting for the bus before the sun is up! I can't imagine how it would be if the school day were any longer! In the winter it would already be dark before some of these kids were getting home from school! [/QUOTE]
