I was speaking to someone who is a teacher this morning and he mentioned the same about year round school not being that far away without such a big summer break, I guess it is only a matter of time
I think back in NZ when I was going to school all be it decades ago we had 3 2 week breaks and then a 6 week break over Christmas New year, I think its still the same mind you we also have a milder climate for a lot of the country, never was to hot and needing AC and we only ever saw snow on the mountains
