[quote=Anonymous]Lots of families do this (including our family). Given the diversity of our mcps school, many kids travel to India, Mexico and Central America, Asia and Africa for weeks at a time to visit relatives---so I don't feel guilty pulling my kids out for a few days here and there. I just read that either the UK or a specific district (maybe London) just adjusted their school calendar to build in a random week off that isn't around any holiday precisely so families can afford to travel (to avoid the Christmas/Easter/summer travel mark-ups). Brilliant! Mcps sort of unknowingly did this with the crazy week in November 2016 where there's no school Mon, Tues--full day Wed--and half days Thur, Fri. Everyone I know is planning a trip to disney, the Caribbean, the mountains or west coast. We're still exploring options.[/quote]
