Practice for sure. I know some schools already do this but a STEM like course for a few weeks during the summer would be great for older kids. I also don’t think one of the poorest parts of the country, with the lowest education metric scores, needs to be taking almost 4 months worth of breaks a year. I see Mississippi has shortened their summers by a week and that is a step forward. I hear it all the time from my family in Louisiana about a week off for mardi gras etc. Just seems kind of backbuttwards for a state that is known for bad education.
