This is just a quick question for those in the UK and various Western European countries like Germany, France, et al. Do your primary and secondary education systems take a summer break from June to the beginning of September like the American school system does? It seems like an outdated practice here in the States and I was wondering if other systems have the same practice. If so, why does your applicable country practice a summer break? If it does not practice a summer break, does the American method seem strange or does it make sense to you?

Nothing says fun like starting in-service in late July and while having two weeks off each in October, December/January, and March is nice, teaching when it is that hot is never fun, even if school does get out before Memorial Day.
