[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love a 2 week winter break. There are many international families in MCPS who would love a 2 week break so they can travel abroad [/quote]

And they are welcome to do so regardless of the calendar. There is no need for a system wide 2 week break.[/quote]

Agree! The last thing they should do is throw working families under the bus so a few elites can have their fancy ski vacations in Europe. [/quote]

DP but I don’t fully get this.  The calendar is going to include 180 instructional days.  Working families have to cover vacations and I get that it is a real challenge, but I don’t understand how putting the vacation here is more or less challenging?[/quote]

In the summer, I have more camp options for my kids. In winter, there are fewer places and so fewer choices. In summer, my kids accept that they go to camp weeks we’re not on vacation. During the school year, we cover some random days off by working from home and letting kids hang out. However, not for a week. (I can do it. I have done it. And it’s not ideal.) and kids push back on full week camps during the year.[/quote]
