Length of Christmas Break

"Ericka Kammerer" wrote in message I don't know about the kids, but *I* need the break from their schooling! Mine got off the 22nd and have to go back the 3rd, and I really want the full two week break we usually get. I'm not ready for the rat race to start again. I needed that extra time to get ready for Christmas ;o) Since the girls are older now, I am not so involved in them getting ready and out the door, so I wasn't feeling like I had to have a break. Our district has so many days off that it is getting just ridiculous. Having them off so long for Christmas just means that they fight more and get bored more easily. The less time they have off means they are being kept occupied and are with their friends and less chance to be bored, at least for my kids. ) Yes, mine are getting on each other's nerves too, but isn't it nice to have a break from middle school projects and homework? :-) Lesley |

"Scott" wrote in message ... The schools here this year have a *very* short break. DD and DS were in school all day on Friday the 23rd (!!) and they return on Wednesday the 3rd. Sounds normal to me. We had a full day Friday the 23rd, and the kids go back tomorrow (barring a delay or cancellation from tonights snow/ice storm) Tuesday the 3rd. |

I'm in Toronto, and my three kids got off the end of the day of Friday
Dec 23 and they go back Monday Jan 9 (two in primary grades, one in high school). Sadly, I have to go back to work tomorrow. Waaaaah! M. |

Length of Christmas Break
My son's last day was Thursday the 22nd (a day earlier this year) and
they go back on Jan 9th. Its as always tough for us to find child care coverage - this year my dh and I alternated taking time off, othertimes we import the grandparents etc. I hate to send him to a camp full time during winter break because I think he needs the time away from organized activities, but I can see he is somewhat bored already.. I'll be taking him to some museums etc. this week. |

I think having a child learn how to deal with boredom by themselves is a great skill to impart. DD and DS will both either draw or read when they have little else to do but complain about how little there is to do. scott DD 12 and DS 9.9 |

Our long vacation in Canada is like the US. It starts in later June and
runs to after Labour Day (first Monday in September). Our kids get two weeks at Christmas, a week or two during what used to be an Easter vacation, but now is sort of a later winter, early spring break, and then two months in the summer (July/August). M. |
