And summer is 5 months away. BH I don’t send to schools that severely punish if a kid misses a day after winter vacation. That being said, if all schools in one city/area- boys, girls, co-ed, right wing, mo- don’t coordinate their vacation times, it’s not right to punish a child if they miss one day after vacation. I have one kid who has vacation completely separate from when my others have. I don’t blame the school though, because it’s not local. I can’t expect a school in a different city to coordinate with schools in my city.


Right! I think that schools in the same city (especially OOT) should coordinate days off better. Otherwise different kids in the same family don’t have off at the same time.

Didn't read through this thread but I am one of those parents who are so thankful and respect this approach a lot. I picked a certain school for my children because of the whole package - the chinuch, the vibe, the whole "approach". Midwinter break has become insane and in some ways antithetical to what the school is going for by providing the break and leaving many children feeling bad as well. I would never want my kid to be the one left in school when everyone else is in an exotic location the same way I would want my sons yeshiva to put rules on other things that are going on outside of school. Most schools have an "exception" if you speak to the menahel ahead of time, they just don't want it to be so common.
