I think it needs pointing out that moving to a year-around schooling does not in any way necessitate ANY sort of increase in the actual number of days or hours attended. Yes, some people probably would like to do this. While I think that moving to a year-around schooling (which, btw, is still cyclical, and actually provides more periods of relaxation, i.e., 6 2-weeks periods rather than 1 12-week period,) I certainly would voice extreme reservations, if not outright outcry, to actually adding to the amount of time children are forced to "sit down, sit straight, ears open, mouth closed!".
