Hey, don't bash Thanksgiving break.

I don't care if it was originally for Hitler's birthday. By far not the dumbest thing Americans do.

I remember being let off for Thursday and Friday when I was in elementary, and Wednesday was added for all kids by the time I was in High School. That's a district thing, though, and the two or three districts in my area did things in that way. *shrugs*

I've moved around quite a bit and everywhere I've gone it's wed-fri which is reasonable. A day for travel there and a day for travel back if you need to travel to visit family. And when I lived in va we had to make a 5 hour one way trip every Thanksgiving. Then back again.

IDK how other people's family did it but usually we wanted to be their the day ahead cause my mom was going to help my grandma do some of the cooking.

I heat in year round schools though they get from Thanksgiving to New year's off

While the definition of "a lot" may vary, afaik the majority of schools don't give the whole week. Usually it's a half-day Wednesday then they're off the rest of the week, which makes sense because Thursday is a holiday and then it's really just the Friday besides that.

Considering that it's wrong, it is a stupid thing. However, it's not even the stupidest thing you've posted.

The months are getting shorter for them down in the South. I remember getting out May 20th something and not going back until the first Monday of September. Now kids are getting out June, going back the final Tuesday on July.

Its a relatively new occurrence in my neck of the woods but it also kinda makes sense as Spring semester gets a Spring Break whereas Fall semester traditionally got nothing.

Technically the earth isn't really round, it just has so many sides that it appears round, but it's pretty much made up of endless flat sides.

The earth is basically a Mega-Megagon.

For me, it was always a week off for Thanksgiving. For summer, probably like 3 months or so, I think. I believe all or June and July. And most, or at least half, of August. Maybe a very small part of May...

I am guessing its a regional thing in the US
We dont get that in Canada, just 2 weeks for Christmas. also a week for Spring Break, spring break is different between school districts. Where i went to school it was always the week after good friday.
And we also get 2 months for summer break (start of July to the end of August)

It's never been a week. Sometimes wed is an early release, but I don't recall if it was a day off. Monday and tuesday were always school days. To be fair teachers never scheduled major class work for this week since there were kids and families who would take the whole week off. Anyways giving friday off makes too much sense since you don't want kids traveling to school with the murderous psychopaths out and about on black friday.

I teach in Alberta. My district took the week off at the end of October/early November. We just called it Fall Break.

We also came back a week earlier than usual, so the hours all stayed the same, but whatever.
