Should k 12 education prepare kids for reality or fantasy?

so children are given 2 months (8 to 10 weeks) vacation for summer; to enjoy the weather and family. To experience life outside of the controlled setting that is school, to grow up and experience life. Parents and adults work YEARROUND to pay bills and raise a family. Government employees are adults and work year round. Non-government workers are lucky to get 4 weeks of accrued leave time per year. as a government employee i was getting 2 week of sick time 1 week personal and 1 week vacation per year. a total of 4 weeks of accrual time a year). Politicains (especially in congress) get more paid time away from work than any other group. Are they adults? or children? Most are over retirement age, which is 65. So somethings gotta give!
The working retired (politicians) are sinking America!
Therefore given the best case scenario 4 weeks paid leave per calandar year. But kids get 2 months.
And congress gets 5 or 6 weeks recess.
