| If you don't observe, it's a great day to tour colleges with your high schoolers. |

I grew up in NY with a large Jewish population.
There is such a small Jewish population here in NOVA. |

Your 6th grader will survive a day off. |

And yet, no one cares for your opinion. The calendar was posted months ago and the days off are listed at the bottom. Are you just here to make trouble? |

| We should only get Federal Holidays off. We don't need Yom Kippur off. |

I'm the outlier that loves all the random days off in FCPS. The long weekends give us a chance to see family, relax, whatever. I completely disagreed with the previous O day policy where they couldn't teach any new material or give a test or take a field trip. That was more of an issue than the days off. But recognizing major religious holidays with a school closure is fine with me. |

| It's totally ridiculous. But this year is better than last year. |

Wow. This is an incredibly biased response. |
