about year-round parents
In this group we discuss the year-round experience from the parents perspective, share information about track-out camps and any other topics that relate to having children in school for nine weeks and off for three. The goal is not to bash year-round schooling but to embrace it and help one another as much as we can along the way.
Feel free to invite other parents, PTA members, and even school principals and teachers.

Every 9 weeks or so, you get a chance to intervene if your child is not getting a concept in school. If they have mastered all the subjects, you get time to pursue a topic at a deeper level than was covered in school. It is a win- win situation for leaning - no burn out.
I agree that the special focus summer camps are a problem for some tracks. As more schools move to year round, I think this problem will be resolved.

I am more sad for selfish reasons, I have finally realized...I am so happy my daughter is starting her treck that will lead her through the rest of her life. I am sad that my little helper and social butterfly is gone...I now have to keep the 2 year old happy by myself. I have called everyone that is listed in my phones phonebook, because I can think of nothing else to say to a 2 year old.. :(
Last week was just staggered entry...today was the REAL first day of school...
