Right, but at this point you've made it a point to only act like a twat. It's one thing to read & learn, it's another thing to purposely instigate an entire community.
I call them buggies too. I get mocked relentlessly.
Are the people on here that call them buggies, from the South or ever lived there? Because in the South everybody calls them buggies. You're the weird one out if you say shopping cart.
We are in NC. Disclaimer: I am a big fat foreigner, but I have lived in my city for 19 years and everyone here calls them shopping carts. He is from a teeny tiny small town outside another big city and they call them buggies. I playfully mock him every time.
You get your rocks off by instigating people online. You are an attention whore. You are by definition a troll. You will never become a valued member of this community if you continue to act like this.
UO: I wish that schools ran through the summer and took several 2-3 week breaks between each term instead of one long break.
I agree, in my area there are a number of children that rely on being fed during the school day. Unfortunately there is not a system in place to make sure that they are taken care of during the summer.
They are still not going to be fed when school is off for 2-3 weeks.
Fixing the wrong problem, though it is a problem that does need to be addressed.

For parents? For schools? The current system derives from the need for kids to be at home to work on farms in the summer... I think we've moved past that.
Speak for yourself. Rural areas still exist and it's pretty assholey to say they don't. Enjoy the food you eat from not farmers apparently.
And what happens when you end up with one kid in high school, one in middle school, and one in grade school and all with different schedules. That shit has happened all the time in districts that tried to implement this.
And yes, it is a million times easier to remember that a kid is off for 2 months than having to try to remember every fucking week where they need to go that week.
Oh, and studies have shown that performance is better on the 9 month system.
Can you imagine having to find random camps throughout the year and how that would work with kid's lessons that follow the school year like piano, dance or karate? Ugh!

I'm from Texas. My whole family calls them buggies. DH is a Michigander, calls them carts.
ETA: I should add that friends and others around here call them carts. I think my family is just weird... But they'll always be buggies to me!

GM is here!
Good point. De-tasseling is still one of the first summer jobs a lot of kids have in the Midwest.

It works as is, and I dont wanna mess with it!
Or what about kids that spend summers with their non-custodial parents? Are they going to have to shuttle back and forth more often? Go to multiple schools in a year? Just not see one parent?

Thanks for the....counseling...?
