In our area (South Carolina), a lot of the teachers seem to want year around school but not the parents. I really enjoy my summers with my son (daughter's in college now) and they've already cut them down to 2 months! Plus, he goes to sailing camp for a month -- so it's nice that he's able to do that and spend a month with me also.

I really admire teachers. I do volunteer work at school somewhat frequently & I just am amazed at the calm they mantain with so much action going on. LOL
