This is not a bragging thread about Americans, but what are you guys' views on our summer breaks? I'm aware in the UK it's only 6 weeks while most places in America it's like double that. Do you think we have too long of a break, do you wish your break is longer?

As a Dutch OTer who has a 7 week summer break, I'll chime in by saying that I guess we get more holidays other than the summer break. I don't know exactly how many and how long americans get though.

While Americans tend to have about an 11-13 week summer break, I'll tell you the holidays for my area at least (they don't include weekends):


- Labor Day off (we're starting August 31st this year instead of the day after Labor Day) September 7th

- Columbus Day October 12th
- Teacher workdays (1st quarter ended a few days before) November 2-3rd
- Veteran's Day November 11th
- Thanksgiving Break November 25-27th
- Winter Break December 21st-January 1st (school reopens January 4th)
- MLK Day (Martin Luther King Jr.) January 18th
- Teacher workday February 1st
- President's Day February 15th
- Spring Break March 21-28th
- Teacher workday April 18th
- Memorial Day May 30th
- Last Day of school June 17th

Sorry for the long post but in other places in the US, especially the south, they'll start in mid august and end in late May. They'll also have like a 2-3 week Winter Break, week-long Thanksgiving, 1 or 2 weeks of Spring Break, they'll have some BS "Fall Break" that's like a week long and some random Winter Break (not including the one from December to January).

I'm British and I wish I had a longer summer break, I don't feel like 6 weeks is enough

Luckily this summer I'm moving to another place in the uk, so I'm moving schools which means I get a few extra weeks off :)

i dunno - my american friend tends to miss out on the breaks that i have a lot.
you would think more than six weeks gets a bit tiring, though? my irish friend has three months off.

Funny thing is the queen or the royal family ain't got jack on what happens. They're just there for tradition.

That royal family just doesn't have any influence over anything these days. Back in the day they were the freaking law. Nowadays they just sit there and do nothing while getting ass-kissed by everyone.

no the reason why we have 6 weeks is because we have holiday terms within the whole year

so for example

september: start school
halloween holiday 1 week
christmas holiday 2 weeks
february holiday 1 week
easter holiday 2 weeks
forgot this lol but it was 1 week
and then we have 6 weeks on the july 21st, atleast for me

Well I find it insane to have about 12 weeks, throughout the holidays, I get bored, so I open skype. If it was double, I'd die of being bored.

i wouldn't really want a longer holiday to be honest. i can manage school because i go there everyday, but apart from that i feel scared and really sick outside of the house, so i feel kind of lonely if a holiday goes on to long.

"why would anyone want to live in Britain tbh
they still have a queen"

yeah i do really hate how we have a royal family here, it's completely stupid.

i genuinely don't care about the royal family. they have little to no involvement in what happens here in the UK and although they're only here as part of tradition, they actually come from germany.
