Broward county students have more reasons to celebrate.

While students enjoy the interaction that takes place at schools between themselves and their peers, many also look forward to their summer breaks. This year the addition of another summer vacation week which results in eleven weeks away from regular classes, is an additional reason that students have to celebrate.

These breaks do not only provide an opportunity for the children to go away on extended vacations with their families and friends, it also allows them to do things that are usually forbidden during the regular school year. Activities such as sleepovers, camps, later bed time hours and parties are among the things that makes summer breaks a favorite among children.

While it is not only about fun and games for all, summer school is another thing that children get involved with. Parents therefore also have a reason to become concerned since the additional week away from school means more money to spend on camps. Reports from the Miami Herald however, refutes this idea as some parents seem to be happy that the extra week has been added.

Teachers are also excited about this longer break as it allows them to earn extra money teaching summer classes. In addition they will still have an extra week off to refresh themselves for the new school year.

For Florida students, parents and teachers then, the eleven week vacation time seems to be a winner and a favorite among all.
