Marilyn's online column [now basically week-long] has been going over the pros and cons of year-round school. The biggest cons seem to be from people who've never tried it, insisting that extending the problems of the agrarian calendar to a year-round calendar would just make them worse, when a lot of that seems to be a fault of the education

That's why I thought that they should have a rotation where they have electives during the summer that aren't during the rest of the year. Summer Session would be a wonderful time to have it.

I don't think that's so good. Electives [which are mostly high school/college anyway] should be mixed in with core classes, instead of potentially spending fall + winter on core only and falling behind on those, then needing summer school to catch up anyway

The exercise is the same as if the first man sold the bicycle for $17. However, you still don't know how much profit he made without knowing what he paid for the bicycle in the first place!
