More school seems to mean taking more and more teaching opportunities away from parents! I like having the summer to try to focus on things I want to learn with my kids. We can do projects and hands on things ourselves too! I get annoyed when parents think school is responsible for teaching everything. Duncan sounds like he likes this school of thought, so I guess everyone has his opinion. Don't you think teachers need time to regroup also? I have always thought it is such a demanding job that they need the time to rejuvenate. Being the nation with the highest academic scores does not mean the nation is "the best." I shudder to think of sending my kids away any more than they already are! :(
