DEAR ABBY, FROM MATT

I recently read an article by Abby that I agreed to immensely. Abby’s article about school year-round was not only convincing, but it challenged me to think about the subject. We would forget the curriculum less often. School year-round can help our education flourish in a fraction of the time it would take to learn in a regular school. Who doesn’t want to be out of school earlier? Would it worry me that we only get a few short breaks a year? This would probably be a pain at first, but in the long run, this would benefit everyone. Parents could get children out of the house sooner, and children wouldn’t have to deal with immaturity as long. A few continuous years of schooling, then a lifetime of freedom! I’m not worried about usual summertime activities, I will have plenty of time to adventure after schooling as well. I could travel to Paris, France (my dream vacation) after schooling, and I would most likely only be about 20-30!
