Мэр Чикаго Ричард Дели предлагает отменить летние каникулы. Для повышения отечественной конкурентоспособности. The notion of suspending education for 2 1/2 months a year "is ridiculous," especially when it means working parents must worry about their children's well-being when they are out of the classroom, the mayor said.

"Doesn't our economy rely on families going away for the summer?" -- возражает ему Richard Morris, principal of Burroughs Elementary School on the Southwest Side, -- "Our economy is already in bad shape".

But Daley said the nation "has to make a commitment."

Между прочим, у нас тут местами лето уже отменили - каникулы разнесены на весь год по 2-3 недели.
