I don't live in east Cobb. Didn't realize I was unlucky due to my area of residence. ;). It's just another bandaid parents and officials are attempting to use on an issue that requires much more. Studies have proven that it s not cost effective or beneficial enough to replace the traditional calendar. It should be a parent responsibility to follow through with learning during the summer months! That means getting them reading materials, math materials, etc. My kids learn math during summer, and reading, and science, and art, and social studies. ALL through hands on....stores, books, libraries, local field trips. And honestly, I don't want my kids around some of the obviously "parentless" kids at an all year round school! Forget that. We all need a break fom those kids.
