I know of EAA students/parents that left for DPS "because the school year was too long" [[only August off, with small breaks in June and July). Likewise, I know of teachers that wouldn't teach there for the same reason. For teachers, the reasons included "having summer off as part of why he/she became a teacher", family vacation time lining up [[kids at other schools), and time off making up for longer hours during the school year [[as you mentioned).
