#42: - Reality Check

Newsflash- children aren't adults in miniature version.  It isn't developmentally appropriate to expect (especially the youngest ones) to live and work according to the same calendar/schedule that you do.  Taking smaller, more frequent breaks throughout the year instead of a longer, three month vacation each summer is much better for their retention of learning.  Also- Georgia isn't a 'right to work' state, so your attempt to bring the unions into this doesn't hold any weight.  The teachers' unions have very little power here in Georgia, except as a lobbying force.
