I awake every morning thrilled that i no longer have to go to High School.and that was just about 50 some years ago. College? Now that was a whole different thing!
Gotta pile it on between all the breaks. Local holidays, national holidays, special assemblies, guest teachers, etc. If teachers ever had a chance to teach 180 days, broken only by weekends, the course of education would see a tremendous growth in literacy and intelligence at all levels. Of course, the hawkers of ‘hype and glitter’ would enjoy a major loss and the economy would probably fail, but at least everyone would be educated well enough to understand it.

It’s only been about 3 weeks since the earth was (at its perihelion) closest to the sun. We’re still pretty close, relatively speaking.

We’re all just swimming in the continuous Lunar cycle. All our divisions are for our convenience… to provide extra excuses for food feasts.
