I feel that children do no benefit from the protracted summer shutdown of education and would be better educated with steadier periods of study which is then evenly spread with shorter breaks. It could also be better for parents to plan their work/life balance and businesses could benefit from better educated pupils with healthier routines when in their late teenage years.
