You are echoing the arguments that were made for over 40 years.

Our current school calendar is based around the time when the kids weren't
available for school because they were needed to run the farms.

The problem is that whole industries have built up around having cheap,
college/high school kids avaiable in the summer.

Changing is going to be hard and many groups will fight it really hard.
