@dancinyogi I’m in Australia & am a former school teacher. We have a 6 week summer/Christmas break & 3x2 term breaks. Students & staff are usually tired-burnt out by the end of each term, & especially end of school year. Year round school might even out the stresses, but might worsen mental health issues. And take away the holidays & a lot of teachers might resign. (For some, the holidays only just offset the downsides.) School isn’t childcare. If childcare is the issue, provide childcare options.
