Thanksgiving break is just around the corner. Only a few more days until break and Thanksgiving! Which means for some time off from school or work and good food! But, some wonder what the point is of coming to school for just Monday and Tuesday.

It’s nice to come to school because then we won’t have to make up those days at the end of the year, and if we didn’t have school those days, then it would be 10 days without school, and Christmas break is 11 days long. So is it necessary to have thanksgiving break one less day than Holiday break? Not really, although it would be nice to have two 10-day breaks with in a month, Holiday break has more than one holiday within those 11 days. It would probably also make the school year a little longer and no one wants to stay even longer during the summer.

Some students would love to have 10 days off of school, because it’s the first big break since summer, and many people travel during Thanksgiving to see family members, so if there was no school Monday and Tuesday it would be easier for those people to travel without their kids having to miss school and worry about missing something really important.

There are both pros and cons to having school on the Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving, but either way just be happy that we get a couple days off from school, even if it’s not a day break, there’s only a few more weeks until Holiday break!
