i don't think the existence of summer is a bad thing at all (keeping in mind that I'm on break right now)!
I'm at a private school, and the work load can be pretty intensive. By the end of the year kids and teachers pretty much despise each other, so eager are they to get out. Not to mention summer reading. I mean, two books a month (give or take) may not seem like much, but it's more than many kids read (and the books aren't exactly easy readers)
That said, I think the main issue is that the public schools have to create a one-size-fits-all education for kids from every possible situation. Even I can see that the system could benifit from some good, old-fashioned common sense... But that's easier said than done.
