Is there any law that requires schools to give students vacations?

Published by admin at 3:26 am under vacations

I’m curious. I’ve heard that it’s against the law for a school to keep students in school for more than 10 weeks without giving them some kind of break. Now, I tried to find this "law," but came up with nothing. Is there any law that requires schools to give their students vacations/breaks? And if so, where is it stated?

No, that sort of thing is not governed by law,it is governed by the state’s education policy, which may or may not set out school opening periods.

    Those kind of laws vary by state…so maybe. I don’t know where you’re from so I can’t answer honestly and correctly.

    No, there is no law that says you can only go to school for 10 weeks without a break, You get a break every week, it’s called the weekend.

    Never heard of that law. Most states require that schools be open a certain number of days a school year.

    You get vacations, 3 day weekends all the time, holiday breaks…wait until you join the workforce and realize you only get 2 weeks, not 3 months every summer.
