Not to name names, but our school's spring break this year is 8 school days. And it seems like they never have a full week of school without some kind of late start, early dismissal, or day off.
I know the school would not want to hear this type of complaint, but I wonder if they ever feel sheepish putting out the school calendar?
You would be really unhappy then at our school. 10 full days off for spring break.
OP here. I think I find all the days off bothersome because DH and I are both working full time to pay tuition for our two kids. If I were a SAHM or had an awesome trip to Europe planned to spring break, I am sure I would love all the days off.
Then find a way to afford the life you want.
Rude.

I'd rather have a long spring break (that i can fly grandparents in to help or take a vacation) than random days off throughout the year.

For schools like NCS/STA, the kids are scheduled like crazy. My DC (and lots of others) is at school from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00/8:30 p.m. most days. Sports competitions or performances most weekends. They need a break. Even that Spring Break is not that long because one week will be dedicated to training trips for sports teams or the Chorale tour to London... leaving one week for family time. Thank goodness we get that.

Fir private schools: # of school days is inverse proportion to the amount you pay.

Wow. You didn't know this when you contemplated children? You should've planned accordingly as 8+ days for spring break is not out of the ordinary. And I'm sure the school sent out a calendar. You sound disorganized. You must have a personal secretary who handles your schedule at work.

Potomac school has 15 days spring break, starting from 03/17 until 03/31. School resumes on 04/01. Why complaining about 8 days?
Wow. Does that bother any Potomac parent?
NCS is the same and I am happy about it. They have early dismissal 3/17.
