[quote=Anonymous]Personally, our lack of vacation is a combination of school schedule creep, especially as we get to the teen and HS years. When I was growing up, school used to run Labor Day to Memorial Day. Now it runs from 2 weeks before Labor Day to 2 weeks after Memorial Day. Add to that sports (fully admitting that this a choice we make): Fall sports start Aug 1. Add in basketball practices over Christmas and crew practices over Spring Break and you are down to essentially a 6 week summer vacation, which also coincides with summer swim. Again, I'm not whining, this is a choice we have made, but a lot of families are making the same choice and it is a contributor. [/quote]
