[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate Thanksgiving. Make Monday through [b]Wednesday[/b] full days and have Thursday and Friday off. I like Winter break but it is too long. [b]If Christmas is on Thursday[/b] or further, we can go to school Monday and Tuesday. We can go back on the following Monday. I do not like Christmas either so I am partial to this plan. I also am a teacher so I rather limit interruption to instruction. We have testing as soon as we come back so it would be advantageous to not lose so much time during Winter Break. I like Spring Break and I wish we had a day off for Halloween. [/quote]

Having a full day the Wednesday before Thanksgiving would mean no time for travel, same with Monday and Tuesday if Christmas Eve is Wednesday/Christmas is Thursday.
Maryland needs to adjust the law to allow for 3 or 4 emergency closures then those 4 days can be off with the same start and end dates. Having a family holiday as the first day of a break (Christmas Eve is treated as a holiday even though it technically isn't) means a lot of people will be out the last day before break 
(last two if a Tuesday).[/quote]
