Shortened school days

Ohio House of Representatives are debating a bill to prohibit school from starting before Labor Day and ending after Memorial Day. This would shorten the school year bringing a longer summer. But the school days would be longer than usual to make up for time. Many teachers seem to think that this is a bad idea because students forget most of what they learn over summer so shortening the year makes more time for loss of knowledge. Other people believe it will save money by having the school run less days out of the year than what it is now. I think this is a great idea to shorten the school year because summer goes to fast already and once we take the standardized tests we don’t learn much of anything. Also this gives more time for vacation in the summer for families and it gives more opportunity for kids to work in the summer to have extra money. If this happened I would personally like school better even if it is longer school days just because that’s more free time for me to spend in the summer. I really hope this bill is passed before I graduate high school.
