[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will someone please, please consider the "traditional international time for family vacations!" Its the TRADITIONAL TIME. I'm so tired of MCPS interfering with the traditional time for us to travel to Europe or Mexico for vacations.[/quote] It's the traditional time in DC because we're a company town and Congress is shuttered in late August. This year the Senate's last day is 8/10. Lobbyists, staffers, attorneys - anyone who works with Congress on a regular basis gets a breather after the 10th. The 10th is apparently a Wed, so if you need to finish out the work week, you cannot take a 2 week vacation (anywhere, even at Grandma's) and get to school on 8/24, which is really 8/23 for those elementary schools that don't announce teachers until the day before school starts. It's not only about fancy international travel.[/quote]
