In my home country the students have shorter summer breaks, one week around All Saints Day, two weeks at Christmas, one week in February and two weeks at Easter. It's so much better: students can go on skiing vacations or just relax instead of building up tension throughout the school year then getting brain drain in summer.

How I wish the school systems around here would implement something like this...[/quote]

NP. I really like the sound of this kind of schedule. What does summer break look like then?[/quote]

This in France. Summer holidays are from July to August, so two months. School starts in September, just when the temperature cools off and leaves start to fall (more in the north than the south, but it's a small country!), which is a good psychological cue.

Many people can get as much as 5 weeks off there, so the weeks-long breaks come in really useful for travel for the whole family, a different times in the year. At upper management levels, of course, it's not done to take all of your paid leave. My father took three weeks total every year, which compared to American standards is still nice.[/quote]
