I have continued to hear this argument against the calendar. We live in a totally different world then the one you and I grew up in. Children are expected to know more quicker. Families typically have 2 working parents. Children are involved in more activities then they need to be. The pace of life is so much faster. The balanced calendar worked very well for our family. It gave us a time to spend with one another, relax and recharge. I also noticed a HUGE difference in the children I taught. Their attention seemed to be better. I just feel that our world is evolving and changing and if we do not make steps to evolve and change with it we might get left behind.
