Changing the school year to all year
"It would benefit teachers, not the economy." There are 6.2 million teachers in the United States. Saying that they have no impact on the economy is mere ignorance. As this large portion of consumers is paid more money, the more they will spend and buy, which in turn will boost our economy.

"Trying to do well in school. Students would, obviously, do worse overal if they had less time to spend on school-work." This may be true, but sooner or later, the students are going to need to learn how to balance responsibilities, and there is no better way to learn than from experience. Finally, I'm sorry that I have no evidence supporting the fact that teachers have a set criteria that they must teach their students, I just couldn't find any sources online with the detailed list.
