Poll

Are you in favor of year-round schools?

A court ruling last week found that the Wake school board doesn't need parental consent to send students to year-round schools. And this week, the board voted that it doesn't plan on asking permission. What do you think? Would you want your kids to attend year-round schools? Or do you prefer the traditional calendar?

There should be some voluntary yr round schools for those who prefer it. There's absolutely no reason to force it on people, no neccessity, and particularly trying to force it when people will have kids on different schedules, is reprehensible.

I agree, Lilybug. There should be an option on this poll such as: "I support voluntary year-round school" or "I oppose mandatory year-round school." The lack of this option is why I was forced to vote "other."
