[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way, I love the days off and what they represent. Most secondary parents like them, whether they care about the holidays off or not. [/quote]

Good to know you don't value education. Most. parents and teacher do. [/quote]

NP. We do value education.  Our kids are taking a lot of AP classes and are using these upcoming 3 days off to prepare. (Monday, Fri and 4/21)  We don’t need childcare anymore. We understand why you are so frustrated because it disrupted our kids terribly when they were little as well. Now they can use that time to prepare and study, more similar to what they will do in the near future in college.  In college they are not sitting in classrooms for 7 hours M-F. [/quote]

+1 this exactly. We absolutely love it for our high schooler. They are going to be well prepared for their AP exams![/quote]

Gee.  If they do better with time off why bother to go to school?  Please clarify.[/quote]

Do you understand how an AP class even works? They get assigned a large amount of reading to do outside of class and then have to take notes on that reading (history). These kids haven’t even been taught how to take notes on the assigned history reading. It’s incredibly time consuming. They then have to study the entire year’s worth of material for a huge test in early May. It’s a lot. [/quote]
