[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s wrong with starting 12/24? That’s what FCPS used to do.[/quote]

Ick-NO![/quote]

You must be, ew, Christian.[/quote]

I don’t think it is the Christian’s who want the 2 weeks off—it is the out of area travelers.

For the rest of us who do not have $🤑🤑, 🤑🤑🤑 to blow on a Christmas vacation getaway—we’d be fine getting out 12/24 and returning 1/2.[/quote]

Yep bending to the whim of people who need their two week Euro and/or ski vacation. Immigrant families would prefer a longer spring break or a long break in January or February when it's cheaper to travel.[/quote]

Those of us who want 2 weeks off aren’t all rich.  Some of us drive across the US to be with family this one time a year.  We need the two weeks for the extra travel days, [/quote]

Oh please, it's extremely privileged that you're able to do that and you know it.[/quote]

DP, How do you define extremely privileged? Many, many Americans get 2 weeks of paid vacation every year. Privileged maybe, but not extremely privileged.[/quote]

Most Americans don’t get a two week vacation block.[/quote]

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 76 percent of private industry workers (who make up 84.7 percent of all workers) receive paid vacation days. After one year of employment, these workers were granted 10 days of paid vacation, on average.   This doesn’t even include the ability to telework.[/quote]

Sure, but for teachers, the length of the holiday break is ON TOP of the personal and sick days that they get. Many districts in this area do not take a full 2 weeks for winter break. [/quote]

And on top of spring break and other district holidays. [/quote]
