Yeh I had finals. In like May/June when school was almost over...
Just checked the calendar in my home town and Semester 2 doesn't end until Jan 26, which is around the time midterms would be. Idk, how different schedules are in Cali but you're no where near midterms or finals around here.

No, before public schools kids socialized at work. Education aside you get a lot of life experience going to school.. You're subjected to culture, people with different points of view, bullying, etc. Not sending your child to school for at least a couple of years is a huge disservice, especially if they plan on going to college. And yes I understand there are plenty of extracurricular activities they can do to get similar experiences but it's just not the same.
