    Well, it's either the one we have now, or the second. At first I wanted the second, until I heard that we'd have no summer D:

    So, which do you prefer?​

    I prefer the first. Honestly, I hate having more school than I do now. I may not like school, but I am definitely not a failure of a student. My grades are actually pretty good.

    Current. After all, I doubt real jobs would follow the same schedule. Best to get the habit now.

    Besides, long holidays rule.

    Quoted for truth

    Honestly, if we had these four days with the cost of a longer school year (like, no summer D:< ) then I am definatly happy with the current setup​

    This is coming straightly from my POV but I'd say second option. For me, summer's not always the best thing to look forward too. Sometimes summer programs are more stressful for me than school so I'd prefer to do less of those.

    All's aside, I liek long weekends and I'd prefer those more simply cuz once u get TOO long of a break, u'll feel "bad" =/

    I haven't been in school since 2002 but I'm gonna go with leave it like it is. You work hard five days a week so you can enjoy weekends and a long summer.

    Sometime I really would want it to be 4 days or less, but I'd keep it like this 'cause summer vacations are already too short!

    That's true, too.

    I know this summer I went to a different camp, and there was a lot of stress there, seeing as I was always put in a horseback riding group more advancedish than me. I skipped over the walk group, but passed fine, I skipped over the trot and went to trot-canter-jump, and did fine as well. I was a little behind at first, and it was still stressful, though :P

    Also, the heat was so strong and all, and I felt kinda stressed when I would have to wait on the line with the horses, seeing as it was so hot outside. I would literaly almost passout sometimes -_-;;

    At first, I was very stressed to go on my bus. One of the popular girls that I hate happened to be going to the camp, too, and instantly started making fun of my brother (everyone does eventually). It soon got very stressful, because she wanted me to tell all these lies about him or else she would spread rumors about me, too. Soon I came to love that bus, though, because soon everyone including the driver hated her :3

    Going to the camp, I was totally alone and had no friends at all. I felt akward the whole first session, because I didn't really have anyone to call a friend. By the second 'un, I made like twenty friends in a week and one of 'em is my second best friend now. It was worth it. It never would have happened without the summer, but at the cost of a bunch of stress.

    At school, though, I feel that there is too much stress there, too. Everyone judges me because of my brother, who everyone can see he obviously is different because of his asbergus syndrome. Everyone either loves me to death at school, or hates me to the bone. It's really stressful :P I have a complete different personality at school than I have at home.

    I see what you mean about stress during the summer, but I think sometimes it's worth it.


    Whoa, Repliku post right now -_-;; never thought I would type that much

    Edit: NVM it's not really a Repliku 'un. How do you do it? o.o;;​

    It's a form of autism. It messes up your coordination, and you have a low social adaption with peers. They take on habits such as pacing, no eye contact and what-not. They tend to have genius IQs.

    My brother has it very mildly, but people can tell he's different. It's a shame though, but my brother does have the genius IQ part. Everyone always makes fun of him, but little do they know that a bunch of those names they here about (Einstien, Thomas Jefferson, Steve Carrel) they all have/had asbergus.

    So...yeah.​

    Probably 5 days a week. I like taking breaks every so often, but when you have a long week, it makes the weekend seem longer.

    I like the way it is now. If anything I'd want that school continue through the whole year but we skip a week every other week.
