[quote=Anonymous]I’m at an UMC school in a rich district here. Over half the school are first Gen (or their parents are), so there are a LOT of absences when families go overseas for a couple of weeks. We’re getting nonstop emails from school about it. Since there’s such a desire to have longer breaks, why isn’t this being accommodated? I know that my family doesn’t travel over Thanksgiving, Easter, or Christmas because our family is local, which basically only leaves summer for trips. We hate the weather in summer and talking to the other parents (mostly Asians or Indians) it seems they don’t want to travel in the heat either. Most weddings or family events that they travel to don’t happen in summer. I’ve always wanted year round school but I realize it’s not popular with teachers. Why not combine all the random days off into a longer break? [/quote]
