Many other schools are now letting students take a study break, visit family, go on a short trip, OR have more time for projects.
Art Students and Teacher Ed Students work really hard.
Are you an art student? I found Spring Break a great time to catch up when I was first in school.
Are you a teacher ed student? We had reports and folders, and sometimes presentations to get ready for class during this time too. I don't think many people know how difficult teacher education is.
I was a nontraditional student during this time. Somehow it was more important to be better prepared AHEAD of time for my classes when I went back to school.
Nothing against other subjects, but art and teacher ed aren't the "Bunny Classes" that some make them out to be.

Organization was the key when I was a nontraditional student.
It helped me so much to get ahead of the game, and do assignments little by little. No more staying up all night for me. I just didn't have the stamina to stay up all night any more. Or maybe I remembered how awful I used to feel doing this.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad that I did things early. I didn't need the stress of knowing a deadline was there and I wasn't ready for - - whatever.
