Make 2 Week Spring Break Permanent

http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/classroom_assessment/09_report_student_prog.pdf When Abbotsford teachers & trustees want a 2 week Spring Break they argue that 4 or 5 lost schools days won't make any difference to students. When teachers & trustees don't want a 2 week Break, they argue that 4 or 5 lost learning days will devastate vulnerable learners & must be avoided. Education leaders are alternately making contradictory arguments. This is an issue in a majority of school districts in our province. If Abbotsford parents teamed up with all the other school districts, through the Provincial parent-teacher group called BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (BCCPAC), we could ask the Minister of Education for a permanent 2 week Spring Break. I would ask the Family Court to share this new holiday equally, the first week at Dad's house, the second week at Mom's house, if I could prove to the Honourable Court that this 8-yr-old Break exists.
