Are you a teacher? I'm in LCPS and think the break is fine this year. Its more than long enough for students and families. 2 week breaks just means summer starts later.

Yes I’m a teacher. Have you not realized that we have a shorter winter break this year AND go a week later into June than we did last year ?


Not a math teacher I see. We accidentally only had 170 days of school last year. It was the anomaly - you got 10 free days off. This year is back to normal with 180.


We can thank you and your friends in a certain parent lobbying group for lobbying for 180.

Thanks a bunch for nothing. All you accomplished was a wasted 3 days in the weird half week before Christmas. Half the kids were out anyways, kids who went watched movies, there was no teaching. The rest of us - parents and teachers - would have much preferred two weeks off.

I don't care as long as it's two weeks long. This short break SUCKS. Not inspiring to see all the teachers saying they're not ready to go back.

A and B are just dependent on how the calendar falls. Many districts who know they are giving two weeks will end up with A some years and B some years depending on which day of the week Christmas falls.

Basically the question is if you like a shorter or longer winter break.

LCPS has had the Dec 15th two week winter break and next year will have the late 2 week winter break. This year was an anomaly that we didn't get two weeks.

How is that even possible? They make these calendars and go over them 10x and managed to short themselves 10 days? In any case, we had only 1 snow day with 10 built in so we made it up anyhow.

Teacher here and we’re off Dec 15- Jan 2 and I HATE IT!

First, we had NO time from thanksgiving to do both academics AND Christmas stuff. It was like a freaking mad rush.

Now I’m home with 10!!! days before Christmas! It’s way too long.

And going back Jan 2 is quite possibly the most painful thing ever.
