[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The August start should require FCPS ending Memorial Day weekend.

Each student should get 2 "free" days off for cultural and religious holidays, with the only religious holidays with no school being the ones where a large number (10%?? 15%??) Of students and teachers traditionally misding school.

Spring break should be tied to the end of the quarter.

Winter break should only go from 12/23-1/1, with school resuming on the 2nd. Getting off for Christmas is justified because of the sheer numbers of teachers and students who would miss that week, the federal offices and major businesses all closing or completely empty over that week, and the national holiday and cultural history of Christmas in the USA, not only as a religious holiday but also as a secular cultural holiday."

I'm waiting for the rich white moms to come on and say "but, but, the international families travel home during that two weeks" as a way to justify their own international vacations over Christmas break.[/quote]
