YU springbreak
Ha, this is actually *not* a YU thing. YU's break ends on Monday. Yeshiva Week just started.
D93, all MO elementary/high schools in the NY/NJ area give off the same week every January in between semesters, so that parents who have kids in different schools, can have all the kids off at the same time. Seems wise, but the fact that most parents are not off this week themselves (and often may actually be off during the Christmas/New Years week when all non-Jewish schools are off) makes it less than ideal.
