Year-Round School Monday

The nation's long summer is necessary for the mental and physical well-being of the child.
Some psychologists believe that too much study is bad to children's mental health and children need time away from school.
The freedom associated with summer vacation is good for students and their families.
However, the extended school day impacts parents and children's work, transportation, and schedules in a negative way. 
As the school day is extended, some programs are excluded as schedules are tossed around.
Only 27 percent of respondents said the change would not affect them, and most said they would feel pressure from the change on their work schedule (26 percent), after school plans (10 percent) and transportation plans (5 percent).
