Our grandkids are on this year round treadmill.
We are afraid that by the time they get out of highschool, they will burnt out.
Their times off are minimal, and during that time the coaches, dance instructors and tutors keep right on with their schedules and some try to increase their schedult.
Our GKs biggest complaint is they never get to come spend a few days or a week with the grandparents or take relaxed day trips. As noted above, the short time periods, they are off are pre scheduled with the non class room activities, which don’t take a break.
We hear the same complaint from Granparents up and down the West Coast where their GKs have year round school.
Before I retired 3 years ago, my patients were voicing the same complaints about the government schools.
It seems those running the government schools are deliberately attempting to disrupt family time, family vacations, visits to grandparents,....and...especially the summer family reunion.
