[quote=Anonymous]I absolutely agree that its too short. We have family out in CA and the school calendar makes it difficult if not impossible to attend family events for Christmas, Thanksgiving, or Easter.

My kids' cousins in CA get a full week off for Thanksgiving and are off starting this Monday for Christmas. They don't end earlier for the summer and go back later in the fall. They also don't have all these professional half days in the middle of the week that MCPS seems to love. In CA, the professional days are positioned right before breaks so families can out of town.

Its is cheaper for us since we work and would need to arrange for childcare is we were not traveling but the short breaks along with the intense pressure to never take them out for vacations really negatively impacts our time with extended family. It sucks because we have a large extended family out there and none here. They all get together around the holidays but not in the summers when there is more break time.[/quote]
