Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! This is a place for me to organize and display my thoughts on education and get feedback. My current plan is to open a private high school called Murray Academy. Above are pages with my most recent thoughts. Enjoy!

Spring/Summer Breaks

UPDATE 8/19/12:
I am going to have one week breaks in the Fall and Spring and three week breaks in the Summer and Winter. Then I'd have 11 week quarters. I still want optional camps in the breaks, particularly in the longer Summer and possibly Winter breaks.

I'm thinking I'm going to shorten Spring Break and lengthen Summer Break. Spring Break two weeks, Summer Break four weeks. That way students and teachers can do at least some seminars or internships or other things during the summer. It'd be great if we could get some sort of Maymester (in the summer) abroad relationship with MA so students could study abroad. I haven't changed any of the schedules for this yet.

I also want sports camps during breaks. Maybe teams and groups can have camps just for them sometimes, but they should be optional, and there should also be camps for those not in those groups.
