It seems like a lot of people on this forum think that it filled with ONLY teachers. I am a parent of 3 Cobb students, work full time outside the school system and I support the balanced calendar. My family does not and cannot take a summer long vacation. My children are bored by the beginning of August and cant wait to get back to school to be with their friends. I also think that over the long break it is harder to get back on scedule. My husband and I worked all week and had a high school student help us with child care. Some people dont realize that the number of school days dont change with either calendar so the fuss about "what do I do with my kids" isnt a valid argument. School is not a child care facility...
