Yes, I am a school employee, and I signed. Not, not because I want all the breaks, but because I saw a difference in our school--for the better. There have been less discipline problems, less teacher absences and less stress overall. I also signed because the new calendar totally disregards families--how can you expect children to be in school until December 23rd? People travel and children are excited. I also signed because we no longer live in an agrarian society--the children no longer need to be out of school to help care for crops--which was the original purpose of having summer vacation.
I signed because it is the right thing for the kids and families!
