Nice article in current issue of "Time" magazine

Greetings,

FYI, there is a very nice article (~ 3 pages long) about Harry Potter World in the current issue of "Time" magazine. The following link provides a (very) abridged version of the article:

Ironically, the cover for this August 2, 2010 issue states "The Case Against Summer Vacation." If summer vacation for kids is eliminated, then many families would not be able to visit Universal Orlando!

I don't think that is the intent of the article. Many people in education believe that year round school is much better educationally for the children. No summer slump. Learning is continuous. Typically they go to school for a period of time 3 months (?) and then have 3 weeks off. It actually gives families an opportunity to travel off peak. We don't have it here but it sounds like an interesting idea.
