[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The advocates for the religious holidays were incredibly vocal with the last board and they got their way. Teachers demanded a two week winter break. The average family perspective doesn’t stand a chance.[/quote]

[b]You don't want a 2 week winter break?[/b] Most families that I know want it to stay that way. We generally do not want a 12 week summer. (But most of us want to get rid of the religious holidays.)[/quote]

Hell no. One week is plenty. There are always tons of snow closures in Jan/Feb, it feels like they basically don't go to school from Nov-Feb.[/quote]

Same for us.  Two weeks over winter is ridiculous given the other closures we are bound to get and most of us can't afford to travel[/quote]

Same here. I grew up in an area where we went to school up to and maybe even on December 23, then back to school right after New Year’s Day. This was in an area where most people celebrated Christmas. No one complained. The long winter break is just too much on top of everything else, including the inevitable snow days at that time of year. If people want to take two week long trips, they should do it in the summer or miss a few few days of school. Sorry that it’s hotter then, but we all have to make choices.[/quote]
