Question

I heard a rumor that NYC is planning to make the school years all year round with no more summer breaks?

Answer 1

I heard about this, but I doubt it will happen.  The electricity bills for air-conditioning will prevent this from happening.  Only a few rooms in the schools have A/C.  They will have to put central air throughout all the schools, this alone will cost the city millions.  My daughter was sent home in June when the temperatures hit 100 due to heat exhaustion.  Could you imagine what it would be like in July and August.

Answer 2

I think it might be true because summer vacation gets shorter and shorter every year =(

Answer 3

Great when will it come to St. Louis, MIssouri.  and answer to not a question,  yes.

Answer 4

They have talked about this for years and years. It isn't going to happen.

L.A. has done this, and it was a crashing failure. They are now talking about going back to the original calendar.

NYC has added days to the school year, but mostly to the teacher's calendar, not the students. For example, kids get off 4 or 5 days that the teachers must be in the schools. It's really more of an attempt to be punitive to the teachers, rather than keep the kids in school any extra days!

But the teacher's union would never agree to the year round calendar. Don't worry.
