[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: Who cares if it lines up with Emancipation Day? Why is that a thing you (or anyone else) are up in arms about? [/quote]
It's a good marker for spring break so spring break is always at a similar point every year. Easter hops around from year to year so that should not be the deciding factor.[/quote]

Thanks for the explanation. Still think it weird that people are digging in on Emancipation Day as the trigger instead of just pointing out the time in the month they want to see break. Maybe I'm too sensitive but that feels performative. [/quote]

Wut? Stop looking for “woke” performances everywhere. Traditionally DCPS spring break aligned with Emancipation Day (since 2016 or 2017). It’s the reference point most of us use. [/quote]

Agree. It isn't anything to do with being "woke".  It is so they don't have to take another day off of school since Emancipation Day is another holiday that schools have to be closed for.  I think it works perfectly for that reason + I like the certainty of always knowing when SB happens.  [/quote]
