In some areas, the long summer break has been eliminated in favor of having more frequent shorter breaks throughout the school year. Basically, having the same number of school days each year but instead of having one long summer break, taking that same amount of time and breaking it up into sporadic breaks throughout the school year: a week here, 4 days there, etc. I know some people, kids and parents alike, like the idea but others don't. Is this done in your area? If so, do you like it? If not, do you wish it was? What do you think are the pros and cons and which outweighs the other?
