Schools should operate all year

What we need is year around school for students to keep up with their learning. The three months of summer break is too much!

The summer weeks could be stretched out throughout the year. It would keep students current on their learning.

We are no longer an agriculture country where children need to help in the farm work. It should not cost more as the summer break would be broken up throughout the year.

Legislators if you want to help our students this is what we need.
