    Nope. Sorry. It would be great if they did but it’s pretty absurd at how far apart they are sometimes. If you are worried about the Thanksgiving Holiday I am sure it will be pretty much the same everywhere. And yes you can teach in the same school as the one your children attend. I had a lot of friends with parents who were teachers. They just make sure they place you in a different classroom.

    It depends on the school district. In the Los Angeles Unified School District there are single and multiple track calendars (FFI single track calendar http://www.lausd.net/announcements/ST-Draft-9-20-07.pdf; multi track calendar http://www.lausd.net/announcements/MtDraft-%209-20-07.pdf))

    I am not certain about the second question, but you can contact the relevant school district and ask. (FFI list of CA school districts http://www.cde.ca.gov/re/sd/)

    Other than the obvious concerns about a conflict of interest / favoritism (i.e. if you were teaching a class in which your child was a member), you might also consider the indirect or apparent conflict of interest (i.e. the viewpoint of an outsider “seeing” what they think appears to be a conflict of interest / favoritism).

    Hope this helps. Best wishes.

    Vacations are definitely not the same across California. Each district calendar is different, even if their schedules have the same name (year-round, traditional, modified traditional.)
    Yes, a mother can definitely teach in the same school where her child is studying. The tricky part is that (when I did this anyway) I got assigned to a school and had to transfer my daughter to be with me. The likely hood of getting assigned to the school your child is already at is slim.
    As a side note, I do not recommend having your child at the same school. The principal might be horrible. How do you complain as a parent without it compromising your job?
