There's nothing stopping you from doing coursework over the break, but it's really nice to know that we will be on break. In CBE programs, there are no breaks technically.
I appreciate that you are arguing in favor of your current school. At the same time, this is a strange way to characterize a CBE program like WGU. I agree that a break for the holidays is nice, although WGU is completely flexible about how you pace yourself and when you take time off. It's not just a little flexible; it's 100% flexible. A student can take a month off or two months off - or five - during the six-month term. Plus you can take breaks between terms. And of course, there are no schedules or deadlines. Clearly these are huge advantages over programs that are not self-paced, so saying that CBE programs have "no breaks" is quite a stretch. There are definitely arguments to be made against WGU, but this is not one of them.
