Yup, I've had peers argue that their kid should be in school for more of the year because it's a nuisance and expensive to put him in activities during the summer months. Never mind if it even makes sense to have a kid in school more, or if it might be better for the kid to spend some time exploring the neighbourhood, spending time with his friends &c. I completely understand that not everyone has the ability to have one parent stay at home, but I think it should be the ideal.
