[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t recall having calendar issues in the previous administration. Is it just me?? I can’t believe staff is spending so much time debating something that could be fixed by using a calendar that already worked. Just get rid of religious holidays. [/quote]

We have started to chase Fairfax, which this year pulled the rug out by starting even earlier after we had already moved up a week to stay with them. The thing to get rid of, that most people supported, is the two week winter break. It’s not customary in most parts of the country and working parents hate it. I would much rather travel towards the end of August and have a nice break before school starts than have to scramble to get childcare for that first week or burn two whole weeks of leave. You want to go visit family halfway around the world, do it in the summer if you can’t fit it in in a week (which with the way the holidays fall is usually about 10 days). I’m so tempted not to send my kid back for the first week because they shouldn’t be rewarded for such behavior and kids don’t belong in school in the middle of August. [/quote]
