[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Who are you people that freak out about this stuff?[/b] We booked our spring break trip to the Caribbean, and I couldn't care less if we have a snowy winter that *might* prompt shaving off a day or two of spring break. What's the big deal if my kids miss a day or two...especially since we all know that *if* that happens there will be tons of subs since many teachers will be on vacation and the only thing your kid will miss is videos and random worksheets.

Given the controversy surrounding Hogan's personal crusade with this calendar, I suspect he will grant waivers if we end up using too many snow days.

Seriously, there's nothing to worry about. Book your spring break trip.[/quote]

You sound like a clueless parent of young children. At the high school level, missing days of school is a big deal. And many sports or music practices require near perfect attendance once you reach a certain age. For example my middle schooler's choir allows just 2 absences a semester.
