I have to say that I won't continue teaching if it reaches a year around status. I DO need that time to regroup, focus on professional development, and have some time for myself that I do not get September through June. We will lose so many good teachers if this happens. I am angry that parents can't even handle 2 summer months with their kids. The reasons our country is falling behind others on tests is not because school is not open 7 days a week (trust me, at that point kids would be off the wall). Our problem is the ever changing society, more two-working parents, poverty, etc. where kids come to school with little to no support at home. Teachers cannot be responsible for everything. I get angry that we continue and contine to try to find the best solution for this country and our kids and it continues to get worse and worse! My parents always told me they looked so forward to summer vacation: it meant spending all the time they wanted with their children, camping, outings, etc. Now parents want more time away. Wow.
