[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all want more 5 day school weeks. This year has been awful. We want longer summers that start soon after the conclusion of exams. No one wants 5 days off at Memorial Day only to be in school till June 18th. What a crappy calendar![/quote] 5 days off will allow you to get cheaper travel to go somewhere when the rest of the country is not able to take this time off. It's not all that wasteful if you think about it. We used to live in a different place with more school choices where we had a schedule that was not aligned with public schools/private schools schedules. We were able to score much cheaper airfare/accommodations when going on vacations and also could see or far away family without paying crazy fares to travel during large holiday breaks like Christmas/NY or summertime. [/quote] You can score even cheaper travel in October that doesn’t mean we should have five days off in October does it?[/quote]
