[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The international vacations have been going on for years and pose a tremendous burden on teachers. Choices for family have to be made but bear in mind that attendance is important for both school and work. Do employers grant such long vacations? Know colleges don’t. [/quote] OP here. Funny you should mention that. Both my husband and I work so yes employers do grant this request. Colleges offer much more than 2 weeks. [/quote] Goodness, your level of "real-world awareness" is extremely low. [u] Your [/u] employers grant this request, but [u]most[/u] do not. The odds of your children having employers that allow them to take off for 3-4 weeks is extremely low, so you are not helping your kids learn about how the real world works. Colleges [u]do not [/u] offer vacations at random times. No college would say, "Sure, take off 8 random days prior to Thanksgiving or spring break. We will accommodate that!" :roll: [/quote]
