...sorta. As you may already know, I've described how the school district will take things from a dual calendar, to one unified calender. What I haven't talked about is those on traditional calendar, and how they are going to be... hosed. The year round is going to lose it's ability to remediate failing kids, and traditional is going to lose it's summer.
What we'll have, if you remember is the "unified calendar", which basically blends the two together, but doesn't have the benefits of either. And they'll do it right under your noses, because no one will realize it's happening until it's too late.
Goodbye year round school, and goodbye traditional school too, we'll have a quasi/morphed/kinda calendar instead.

The plot thickens...

I for one think that all schools should become year-round boarding schools. The kids can come home for Christmas and Easter, and whine about how there is nothing to do. We can put all sorts of fuzzy feel good programs right in the schools with them; all of the recreation, arts, and other opportunities, and build the biggest bureaucracy of state-organized schools since the Soviet Union.
Think, parents! No more responsibilities of dealing with duct taping erratic bus drivers, "all those other parents" who make your kids' lives a living hell, or discussions about incompetent superintendents or teachers or even school board members. Your kids will carry on your name without the uncomfortable costs of actually living in your house, leaving their clothes and dishes all over the place, and demanding that they be taken everywhere for entertainment.
It's an idea whose time has come.
