I think we have forgotten why school has always been let out during the summer. It was to increase the work force during planting and harvesting. This is how our crops used to be picked before we started using South Americans to do this job for us. So, I say keep them in school all year long. The ones who are preforming at grade level can be let out with the parents permission. Also, the ones who want to work in the summer should be let out. We could call it work study.
