Summer? What about the teachers days, every presidents birthday, all the Holidays, 2 weeks for Spring, 2 weeks for Christmas, and half days and snow days ...they hardly go to school anymore!
Why is this an issue for the president anyway? I thought these dates were set by state and local officials. The federal government has too much say in education and shouldn’t get any more, IMO.
I just find it quite sad that the president gets the blame or praise for what happens to the education system in any case. Too many Americans just naturally assume they have to look to the federal government on issues that should be settled by states and municipalities so it is no wonder dependence on government has grown.
