Education is actually the work of a lifetime. Anything to excess is not good. So learning, studying, playing, all things have balance. Nothing should be done to any extreme. It is important for us as human beings to have a wide variety of experiences in our lives.

To prepare you with the skills you'll need in the "real" world. The fact is this is one of the only industrialized nations that has a 9 month school year and it has one of the worse educational systems. Maybe its time to do away with summer break completely because when you do graduate as some of you will, you wont be allowed to take summers off.

Because the time off at one time matched farming season so that children could help on the farm. Since this is no longer required it would make far more sense to have school continue for the entire year with no more than two weeks off. The point is to educate, not take time off.
At the same time, for those who don't wish attend school, they should be allowed to drop out at an early age so they won't bother those who actually want an education. Of course those who dropped out really would become second class citizens.

where do you go to school? in the US, summer break was less than 3 months but school year is the rest of the year 12-3=9 months!
please continue school until you learn this math

It just seems that way! You only go to school a total of 180 days,. That is all everyone goes for. The difference is the school year is broken up with vacations of a week or two so the year does seem longer. But no matter how they divide it, it's only 180 days long!

because the rest of the year is twice as long as summer

many,many years ago there was no air conditioning in the schools as well as alot of homes so the children were sent home to help out...also like the rest of the answers it gets u ready for the real world..it also gives teachers a job and your parents a rest and not so much day care or supervision

to prepare you for the "real world". when you get out of school you will not even have a summer break...most companies start you out at 2 weeks.

If it was the other way around everyone would want to be a teacher when they grew up.
