 Really? You're calling these folks bad parents because their children get excited and have difficulty focusing 2 days before Christmas? You have obviously never been in a classroom a few days before Christmas - because you would be saying that about 99% of parents. Be realsitic - kids are just that  - kids and normal children get excited at Christmas. That is one of the reasons we should not go until 12/23. Another is that our absences will be MASSIVE -so we are wasting valuable school days.

But, of course the children don't get the least bit more excited and "have difficulty focusing 2 day before..."

their trips to Disney/Cruises etc. before the new/old September Break, February Break, etc.

Seems like you are proving the point that the "balanced" calendar is bad for retaining the focus of children.
