[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I HATE that Easter is the last day of spring break. That needs to stop. We drive a long distance to my parents' rural home for Easter (flying takes longer and we would need to rent a car too). I always spend all of Easter on the road driving home, essentially missing the holiday. Easter should be the FIRST weekend of the break. [/quote] If the break is tied to Easter it should be the week AFTER not before especially since Good Friday is considered to be a serious day the way Yom Kippur is for Jews.[/quote]

But then we would need a week plus a day.[/quote] 
ONE extra day (except for FCCPS who removed religious holidays) is hardly a big deal! I'm sure that can easily be handled.

The week before Easter is the WORST setup for spring break.
It should be a fixed week like the first full week of April and if it happens to be the week before Easter in a certain year then the Monday after is off. 
If it is tied to Easter which it shouldn't then the week after is FAR better since the serious day of Good Friday is not in the spring break week and you have the week to look forward to following Easter, when it's the week before Easter then Easter is the LAST day which I'm sure never feels good.

Imagine if Yom Kippur was in the spring (it is in the Southern hemisphere), it would be brutal to move spring break based on when Yom Kippur is.[/quote]
