/ #41 Memorial Day to Labor Day is IMPOSSIBLE

2012-01-11 22:29

I just have to point this out. People keep saying that they want to be out from Memorial Day to Labor Day, "like it used to be". I don't know how old you are; but I'm coming up on 40 and have never heard of anyone being out that long. To go back after Labor Day means you have to go to school through June. It just isn't possible to do it otherwise. Well... it is possible; but it means that the kids would only have NINE days off during the year. I guess we could have a week for winter break and 4 days for spring break. No teacher work days or any other 3 day weekends. Is that what you guys are proposing? Because the kids are supposed to be in school for 180 days per year. For the 2012 - 2013 calendar there are 189 week days in between those holidays.
