Why do people not see this? What could be more inequitable than a calendar that repeatedly disrupts educational momentum?  Not only does it stress families and limit their ability to support their kids and the schools, but also disrupts routines that are essential for learning, especially for kids with executive function issues. Leaving so many blanks to be filled in by families creates an obvious advantage to families with the means to hire tutors, quality child care, and to provide other opportunities for their kids, yet this is never talked about. I don't get it. [/quote]

They actually aren't. One, kids need a break; they're not small adults who enjoy the grind.

Secondly, in the first half of the year, there are only two non traditional holidays and four professional workdays PWs are also pretty standard. So everyone is really getting twisted up over Diwali and Yom kippur? Really?

It's parents who want to believe these days off are detrimental to kids, when kids know their mental health is greatly improved by not grinding every week...because THEY ARE KIDS. [/quote]

Well, I've raised a large family, so I can tell you that the stops and starts are really bad for kids. They don't wind up being relaxing breaks that benefit kids. [/quote]

That may be true for your kids and the way you structure your life but that isn't really true for most kids. Just your large family and some other annoyed people on the internet. [/quote]

Just we are clear - this is your opinion and it's no more right than anyone else's opinion.[/quote]
