Not PP but the social reality in this country is that most professional offices shut down the last week of the year and many do in practice for at least part of the week before Xmas. I work with embassies, people I know celebrate other religions, etc - no one emails over Xmas and almost no one emails the week before. Same with Xmas Eve.

The cultural reality is there is no other holiday like this in the US where thing basically just all shut down and so yes it is reasonable for school to align with that timing.

Easter is not the case and I think you saw that from most parents saying it did not matter if we aligned with other districts (that have kept the break with Easter). It was school staff that said not aligning with other districts was too hard.  [/quote]

Federal government doesn’t shut down. Do you not get your mail?[/quote]

My fed office has about 70% of staff off then, at least in part because...

kids are off too.[/quote]
