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.

Well the Scandinavian countries have even longer holidays than the UK and US yet there grades are better than ours. Proper tests and research should be done if the government really wants to implement this.
