Should there be school all year long?

Instead of a 3 month summer vacation, there would be a week of vacation each month.

O.o nah if there'd be a week off every month kiddos would get outa the flow and they'd have learning issues... I def wouldn't recommend that.
Personally I'd like to have 3 months off in summer but in Germany we "only" get 6 weeks our kids are kind of ... pushed educationally lol
(I think it's even only 4 weeks for students but not sure anymore..)

Uhhh... You mean like a Year-Round school? o_o
Well, Year-Round schools have 3 weeks off every 9 weeks or so.

But no, I don't think we should do that.
Finland has one of the best school systems in the world, while they have the least amount of hours spent in school. We should learn from them.

No. I'd rather have some big holiday to look forward to than to just repeat the same routine every month of school life.

There're about fifteen weeks of vacation in total for primary and secondary school students.

I already get a total of a week off or more almost every month anyway, so that'd be dumb.

As much as I miss friends in the summer, the ones I don't hang out with, I would still rather have summer. Maybe a bit shorter summer, but as I progress further into my summer (Got out on the 8th) I will probably see all my time going away while watching anime. I like summer because it gives us chances to go out, work out, and do other things we wouldn't usually do. (My life is ruled by my homework and things like that)

year-round schools are boring.

I already disliked school as it was to the point where I demanded to be home schooled. Year round would make me want to dieeeee.
