And there is the freedom to stay out late with friends and sleep until noon the next day.
Summer is a season that seems specifically designated for savoring the precious years of youth.
Enjoy the freedom of summer now, because the county is currently discussing a plan that could make our next Fourth of July be on a school night. Under this plan, the student body would be divided into four or five groups, each on different schedules, or tracks. Instead of one extended summer vacation, students would get four 15-day breaks per year. The new plan could make space for 20 to 30 percent more students because a fourth of the school would be on vacation at any given point in the year. Instead of spending money on portables or building extra classrooms, the school could use the funds for other things, such as functioning soda machines.
