Generalizations.
Helping idiots hate other idiots since people have existed.
There are 365 days in a year, or 52 weeks in a year.
In the American school system, students spend 180 days a year in school, or 36 weeks.
With a 5 day schoolweek, that's 36 weeks of school, coupled with 16 weeks of time off. Normally, students have the months of June, July, and August off. That's about 12 weeks of time off, and the other 4 weeks are spaced throughout the year.
Having 12 straight weeks of time off presents problems. Students often forget much of the material they have learned during this time. It's very counterproductive.
Simple proposal; what if the time is split up more evenly throughout the year? Let's keep the current system of 36 weeks of school, and 16 weeks of time off. You could try something like
- 1 week off every month, plus 4 extra weeks for other holidays.
or
- June and December off, and 1 week off roughly every 5 weeks.
or
any other variation you can suggest
The Flood is mostly made of students, so what do you guys think of this?
