Year round schooling doesn’t sound bad to me, but 12 hour school days are nutty.

“Year round schooling doesn’t sound bad to me,’

It does to me. Kids need a break. They are not adults; and even adults get vacations.

Kids need downtime; time to do nothing; time to waste; time to try and often fail; time to oversleep; time to stare into space; time to pursue their own interests, as ‘useless’ as they may seem; time to daydream. They aren’t machines.

I use the summers to try and keep my kids from being brainwashed by their stupid liberal teachers.

If you want 12 month school years, go for it. Just keep my kids out of it.
