[quote=Anonymous]We pull them out for 1-2 days for Diwali (it's actually a 5 day festival for many groups). And then maybe 4-5 days around winter break for travel (to India). It's absolutely painful every time. It was easy in elementary but starting middle school it's something that we do only because we need to. Around Diwali, they basically have to make up everything within 48 hrs (including tests). A couple of nice teachers allow them to do assessments ahead of time so they can enjoy the holiday in peace. For international travel it's just awful but that's where much of our family is, and that's the time that works for them. It doesn't make sense to go for just 8 days where 2 days are in travel.
