[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why the original poster thinks there are no snow days built into the schedule?[/quote] I think it's because s/he looked at start/end dates at a couple of schools in warmer areas and found they were roughly the same as start/dates around here. I was curious so I looked at the calendar for the one school s/he cited, Harvard-Westlake, and found that it's a little more complicated than that: Harvard-Westlake takes 10 days of spring break. Sidwell takes 6. MS at Harvard-Westlake ends one day before MS at Sidwell. Sidwell 8th graders spend 25 more minutes per week in school than middle schoolers at Harvard-Westlake.[/quote]
