Not a chance: we don't start school until late August/early September for primary school. (Elementary/High School as the US sees it)
None of our students would ever complain about the quality of schooling. They'd instead complain about how much work they have to do or how much is expected of them. With great drama. And much angst. And rhetoric about fairness.
The sad truth is that the majority of American students see school as a social event. What to wear, who to see, what to drive, who to do, and how to do them. I should know - I used to be that kind of student
Of course, being a BAD student in Elem and HS didn't stop me from performing well at college or post-college or getting a job... I just chose to apply myself when it counted...
