    Map: Who has the longest and shortest


    summer break in Europe

    If you love summer vacation, it's way better to be a kid in Italy than in the United Kingdom. The Brits are
    pretty stingy on length of the annual break, this map from the European Commission shows, whereas
    Italian schools have some of the longest stretches off in the region.

    Summer vacation is also luxuriously long in Bulgaria and the Baltic states.

    Because the US doesn't have a uniform school year and summer vacation schedule, it's hard to tell
    where American schools stack up in comparison. But the largest districts in the US have a summer
    break of 11 to 12 weeks, or about two and a half months, according to data from the National Council on
    Teacher Quality. That's more time off than kids get in France, Germany, and Poland, and a bit longer
    than Finland and Norway.

    How long summer vacation is, though, doesn't tell you much about how much time kids spend in school. The chart
    below shows that the 180-day school year for high schools in the US is about a week shorter than in other rich
    countries, on average, according to the Organization for Economic and Community Development.

    And how much time students spend in school doesn't necessarily correlate with how long they spend
    learning. In 2008, primary school teachers spent 1,097 hours per year teaching. The OECD average
    was just 786 hours.
