Balanced Calendar
Metro schools are thinking about a balanced calendar. I’m all for the idea. Although, I do not have kids, and if I did, they wouldn’t attend a Nashville school. Not because I wouldn’t want them to go. I live in Rutherford County. 🙂 So what does my opinion matter?
I’m going to give it anyway. A balanced Calendar, or a year round calendar has many more advantages I believe than disadvantages.
More vacation options, some possibly cheaper because of off-season prices, kids tend to remember more in shorter periods and frequent breaks.
Disadvantages could possibly deal with sports, extra-curricular activities and maybe remediation for those a little behind.
I guess we’ll find out what metro will do on December 12. I think that is when the board is going to vote on the issue.

I wish Rutherford would go year round. But i’ve heard too many people complain that it would interfere with their vacation. Nice priorities.

I would prefer to see a year round schedule. I remember having to spend the first several weeks of school having to relearn everything lost over summer vacation.
