| Probably because it’s the end of the quarter and testing starts once we return. |

Because it’s supposed to be a break, not asynchronous learning. |

I had hmwk over thanksgiving, winter and spring break as a kid in MCPS beginning in jr high. I had hmwk during thanksgiving and spring break in college. Hmwk isn’t asynchronous learning—it’s repetition of concepts that have already been taught. Or studying of material that has already been taught for an upcoming test. |

This is one of the problems I have with year round schooling.
During the shorter breaks, the kids always have homework. In elementary, it was very thick packets to prepare for standardized testing. In middle school and high school, it tended to be projects and studying for finals (which MCPS had done away with - but that’s a separate issue). They get homework over the summer (which is something I oppose - separate issue), but at least with the longer summer vacation they can do it and still get a break. If they ever decide to go to year round schooling, kids won’t be getting actual breaks, they’ll just be working from home. |

It's called spring "break" for a reason. |
