real brisker-i was going to say the same thing. after reading it I wanted to bring it up here. Me as a teacher I see how the kids need a break. As soon as my kids start being looney and dont know what to do with themselves we know they need a vacation. Besides because of the snow days kids went even crazier bec they didnt have a schedule to adhear to or fun things to do. Think about how coo coo your kids were going bec they were cooped up for two-three days with nothing to do. Taking away a winter break from kids and adults too is just terrible. Dont say that teachers dont need it. You as an adult need it too. Teachers cant make ends meet during the year so they have to get jobs during the summer. dont say that they get a summer vacation because they really dont. Not only that, you probablyhave a 9-5 job or if youre lucky u cood be a stay at home mom, is that why you dotn want your kids home because you want to be without them? If you have a 9-5 job(minus a few hours) are you ever bringing your work home? No? well then youre lucky. because a teacher never gets a break…they run into parents and students at the supermarket(then parents want an update), call parents at home, deal with meetings for different students, lesson plans and more. So before you go thinking of banning winter break think about all those that look forward to it.
If you want to ban it because of money, then my suggestion is to stop spending on unneccessary things and save a little for your children and a few days off!(btw parents get the school calendar before the year beings. if i were you i’d put ur days in to be off for those days!)
