[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just received the calendar for next year.  In addition to the normal 2 weeks at Christmas and Spring Break, we now have an entire week off for Thanksgiving, a fall break and an additional winter break.  Let's not forget that the school year ends long before camps start.  Oh and it is not the best idea to start the school year on a Thursday!  Do schools not understand that taking multiple weeks off is not always an option?   I will definitely be thinking seriously before signing my contract for next year.   [/quote]

Just curious how long these winter and fall breaks are.  Also, is the Spring Break just a week?

Our school has long weekends in the fall and winter (usually tied to Columbus Day and Presidents Day), so two 4-day weekends.  The entire week of Thanksgiving seems a bit much - not sure there are too many schools in that camp.  Starting school on a Thursday is odd to say the least.

I'm not sure though that privates vs. publics have much difference in the actual number of days off during the year (setting aside that many of the privates end earlier, but I consider the shorter school year a plus).  It feels like the MoCo kids in our neighborhood get quite a few more days off during the school year than our private.
