[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone else bothered by the absurd # of planned days off in the school year?

Not to name names, but our school's spring break this year is 8 school days.  And it seems like they never have a full week of school without some kind of late start, early dismissal, or day off.

I know the school would not want to hear this type of complaint, but I wonder if they ever feel sheepish putting out the school calendar?[/quote]

You would be really unhappy then at our school. 10 full days off for spring break. [/quote]

OP here.  I think I find all the days off bothersome because DH and I are both working full time to pay tuition for our two kids.  If I were a SAHM or had an awesome trip to Europe planned to spring break, I am sure I would love all the days off.  [/quote]

Wow.  You didn't know this when you contemplated children?  You should've planned accordingly as 8+ days for spring break is not out of the ordinary. And I'm sure the school sent out a calendar.  You sound disorganized.  You must have a personal secretary who handles your schedule at work.[/quote]

I'm not the op, but come on, no, before having kids I never got out the school calendar and looked the days off. Nor did anyone else. :roll: [/quote]

Were you homeschooled?  How could you not know this?????[/quote]

Because I actually attended.school. We didn't have spring break nor did teachers get a "work day" at the end of each grading period.[/quote]
