What is the point of summer break?
The whole reason "summer break" was started to help families fulfill their needs around the house and the farm. Kids would take care of the crops in the summer and study in school all year except the summer, or hast time. Now days though hardly any of the kids live on farms or help out in that way and they don't need the time off from school. That's why year round school is becoming more common... Yes kids get less laying around in the sun time, but they get a better education And more vacations throughout the year.
