[Vision2020] year round school

[J Ford]

I like the idea of my sisiter's school in California has - half days during 
the summer with a few weeks on/couple of weeks off.

During the school year, they go 6/9 weeks on, two/three weeks off, with 8 
(not 6) hour days.  It has cut way down in day care costs for older children 
and the kindergarten kids go full time, not half days.

Just some thoughts.
