i go to a very advanced school, im going into 9th grade and am going to take pre-calc, and the lessons are designed to end the day before the last day of school. if i had school year round with that, im pretty sure my head would explode and bones would impale others, as well as people's designing the course. i dont like the idea but from what messes said, he is kind of right that it would be better to have breaks every few weeks. However i dont lose much during the summer, and im learning a lot more torquescript and C++, so its a mixed message.
