I'm in favor of year-round school. I'd reorganize with a quarterly or trimester system with a break of a couple of weeks in between. If the school and/or school district were large enough, I'd also arrange the path to graduation to permit students (typically in the older grades) to sit out a quarter or trimester to engage in some worthwhile extended activity.

This would force a readjustment on the various sectors of the economy built around the presence of tens of millions of idle students in the summer months. The summer camp industry would be hard hit. But I think we'd see better educational results, and working parents would find the change welcome once they got used to it.
