Much of why I agree with it is just my personal preference as a teacher. I would much rather have time off in the summer than more time off in the fall or winter. So my biggest feelings against it have nothing to do with education and just preference.
I do know though that as it gets hot in May and June it is extremely difficult for students. So few high schools have AC right now. $40 million to install it is a lot of money, and without it, it can't happen. Also, I know a TON of students who rely on the summer for jobs, and so that would be impacted.
I actually agree with it in a lot of ways from an education standpoint.
