Year-Round School Schedule

I have just finished reading your report on year-round schooling (Metro, April 3). I greatly appreciated it for I found it very enlightening.

Your article explained the purpose of a single-track year-round schooling. With this system, students will have two major mental breaks and less knowledge will be forgotten over the shorter vacations.

What the public needs to realize is that although the old school calendar had its advantages, it wasn’t perfect, and that although the new year-round system has a few disadvantages, it is far from being completely flawed. We just need to grow accustomed to this inevitable change.
