In response to palestra38
The key point, which has ALWAYS been the case, is:
"The surveys found that students want to move finals before winter break to reduce stress. Eighty-one percent of undergraduates said that scheduling finals in January made them feel stressed over winter break, and 79 percent said it made them spend less time with family and friends over the break."
Not my experience. I liked knowing there was a reading period after the holiday. My impression of friends elsewhere was that having exams before the holiday tended to create heavier stress over Thanksgiving break and left people drained when the holiday break rolled around. (BTW, the single wing was fun, too).
But the new generation ....
