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.

I have had both year round school and the 12 week summer break. I prefer the longer breaks than having a random week off her and there. My friends with year round school would laugh at me during their random weeks off but I got to laugh at them when they had to start school in July and I got to stay on break until mid-August. And we got out for Summer break at the same time.
