Kids should be able to get school off starting on December 20 because they always are working hard in school. There is also alot of stress during and after school and having school till the 23 seems exsessive. That would mean that everyone would have hardly any time to travel over the holidays. Most kids would be missing school on the 23 anyways because most people go on a vacation or travel to see family over the summer. Also if you are not in elementary school you should sign this petition too because if elementary has school off then all other grade levels would have school off too.
