[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's nothing in the regulations that say Winter break has to be two weeks.  It says that they will adjust the start/end date of the break to make sure there's not a week that has only one day of school in it.  Given that Christmas is on a Monday, we will probably be in school until Friday the 22nd and then return on Tuesday, January 2.  So a slightly shorter winter break this year.  And then each subsequent year it will get a day longer until we end up back with a Monday Christmas again.[/quote]

Nope rich mommies will NEVER let that happen. They need a two week vacation.[/quote]

I’m not a rich mommy, but we are a family of five and have to DRIVE to the Southwest/Midwest if we want to see my family because we can’t afford to fly.  That’s a 2-3 drive there and another 2-3 day drive back.  We would like to spend more than one day with my family when we get there.[/quote]

Where are you driving? Toledo/Chicago is about 8 hours away. We made it to Up North Wisconsin in 2 days. we took breaks along the way to break up the day. 
And maybe that means you go to see family in the summer when you have 9 weeks of vacation so you can space things out better.

I am with the 9 weeks of school and 2 weeks of vacation plan with a 6 week summer. That gives people many different opportunities to travel during the school year when things are less expensive and minimizes learning loss over the longer vacations. Teachers have more built in breaks to relax and get things done. Summer is long enough to travel and enjoy the nicer weather.  [/quote]
