A few months ago the Mt. Zion school district was looking into changing to a "balanced calendar" school year. For those of you who aren't familiar with that term, it's sort of year-round school. For us, it would have been an Aug. 1st start date, 9 weeks on, 2 weeks off throughout the year and then school would be over at the end of May. Then 2 months of summer vacation.
Right now, a day and a half into our 2 week Christmas vacation, I am so unbelievably grateful that they decided not to proceed with the balanced calendar. My kids have not stopped arguing since yesterday morning. I think they left their Christmas spirit at school. I can't imagine having to deal with this every 9 weeks!!! (I don't mind summer because I can send them outside and then at least I can't hear their arguing quite as well.)
