[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m fine with the extra holidays, but what’s up with the grade prep day on a Tuesday with Diwali on Thursday. Why couldn’t grade prep happen on Friday for a less disruptive week? Wouldn’t kids get more done Mon-Wed instead of M/W/F? [/quote]

+1 It's the grade prep days that make me crazy. [/quote]
+2  Especially as in the example OP cited making a very disjointed week.  Not good for anyone, and it screws up the flow and schedule of students - especially those on block schedules.  Senseless.[/quote]

+1.  Make spring break the last week of March or first week of April every year, separate it from Easter and Passover.  The fall would be so much easier if they clustered where possible into three or 3-1/2 day weekends.  Don't have Wednesdays be early release, let that be a Friday.  Or, the weekend of parent-teacher conferences roll in professional development so it's just a four day weekend for families.  So much easier to plan than tossing in random times off willy nilly.
