Summer Vacation in Jeopardy?

I don't know how I feel about this story.

You know that I like to drag my family around the country for many weeks during the summer.

But there are some really good reasons to rethink the way we do things. And if the powers that be compensate for longer school days/year round school by lengthening other breaks, I might be willing to support it.

I love to travel, but I hate to think that for two months, so many children are going without learning or even a decent meal while my children are enjoying museums and plays and good eats.

Must ponder this. What do you think?
