text: do you agree with the school that i go to that we should only get a couple of days off for christmas? the school i go to is thinking about taking away the week before christmas and only giving us christmas week off.  so that school can be over 1 or 2 days before it usually ends. you are lucky that you had more than a week to begin with. my school district always gave us a week off for christmas break. and we had no spring break either, just a four day weekend for easter.
