[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the pp who said that we should remove religious holidays including the friday before/monday after Easter. Spring break extends more than a week, which is unnecessary. Select the dates for Spring Break that make the most sense academically, and they may or may not coincide with Easter. And certainly not more than 5 school days off in Spring Break. I actually wonder if it would be better to ADD the Wednesday before Thanksgiving-- it seems like there are so many absences that day that teachers don't plan rigorous days there in any case. I don't have an opinion as to whether single days off that dot the calendar hurt student learning. I'd imagine it depends on level. I personally really like the fact that the kids have several breaks as they ease into Fall semester, but there must be some research in the Education field on impact on learning.[/quote]
