Imagine the school year without a Summer Break

By Frazier Allen | August 10, 2012 |

Clarksville, TN – For millions of students, summer vacation is quickly coming to a close. But the summer vacation hasn’t always been the birthright of American schoolchildren. In the early 1800s, rural schools operated from December to March and from mid-May to August.
