[quote=Anonymous][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]

What school is this??  We have been at 5 different privates and have never had more than a week off for Spring Break, never had a Winter Break and never been excused earlier than a Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  You should switch schools now.[/quote]

Yeah, we've had kids in 2 different private schools and that sounds really odd.  In any case, public school kids get lots of days off too -- they're just scattered throughout the calendar, which makes them less appealing if you want to go visit Grandma or take a road trip (not every private school family spends every break in Bermuda or at Whistler).
