[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because when they provided multiple calendar options this one won. You can’t have a full 2 week winter break without losing other holidays elsewhere or going later into the summer. [/quote]

NP.  Except we are going later in the summer this school year.  Summer break will start nearly a week later than it did last school year.  So, that doesn't account for a shorter winter break.  
There's lots of single days off during the school year.[/quote]

Yes, because it’s an inclusive calendar that also factors in Jewish, Hindu and Muslim holidays, which it previously did not. Again, it’s not fair to say that Muslim kids need to either come to school or miss content for Eid when Christian parents would never accept that for Christmas Eve or Christmas day. So the calendar has to be balanced with those holidays, federal holidays where they must be closed, and contracted teacher work days. [/quote]

It's not inclusive towards students who thrive with a regular, predictable 5 days a week of school.[/quote]

I don’t know what to tell you. Find a private school that doesn’t close for anyone’s holidays then. [/quote]
