Not any longer.  If you have one kid in Catholic school and another in public, your spring breaks will never coincide.  It's now just "spring break" and the schools plans accordingly and set it up when it best suits their needs, except for the Catholic schools which adhere to Easter week.  And winter breaks are all over the place, running from one week long to 6 weeks for some Ivies.  [/quote]

Name one public or secular private school that was in session on Christmas or Easter one time in the past 100 years.

Uh, quite a few. Or are you missing my point.  I'm not saying they are holding class on Easter Sunday or on Christmas Day, what I'm saying is that secular and public schools plan their spring break when they feel like it - it has nothing to do with Easter week, which is a holy week preceeding Easter.  Catholic schools always give that week off because it is Holy Week.  The publics and privates do not give that week off or if they do it is coincidental and hasn't happened to us in a long time.  They give off whatever week works best for them and for their staff and teachers.  So every year we have to get out the school calendars and schedule three different kids with three different breaks so we can't do anything as a family because the publics and secular privates don't give a damn about Easter.
