They won't get a waiver unless they use at least some makeup days first.

January 29 and March 31 are avaliable.

As is June 6.

And all 3 are religious holidays.

Our choices are either religious holidays or extending the school year into the following week.

Extend and don’t persecute

No way. Use the holidays as makeup days, and if you observe you get an excused absence anyway.

You often only get 1 day to make up work. If you have an obligation the next day, you can’t do it. It’s persecution.

Use your brain. You miss school on Monday and going on Tuesday. Your assignments for Monday and Tuesday are due on Wednesday! You then have to skip any extracurricular activities Tuesday to have the time to do all that work. Basically, because of your religious holiday, you lose your extracurricular activities and work double that day. That’s persecution because instead you maybe skip the religious holiday.

Do the work ahead of time over the weekend.

For many classes, that is not an option. The assignment is given on the day of school for the kids to do in class and based on what that just learned. That means the teacher may not provide the lesson required to do the work, may not give the assignment ahead of time, etc.


Also, people have weekend obligations like weddings and extracurricular activities, as well as religious activities like fasting!


Just extend the school you and don’t target one religious group.

Do you think MCPS is "targeting" a religious group every day there is school on one religious holiday or another? There is no way to avoid school on all days of commemoration.

Does the Board of Ed usually vote on what makeup days to use or is that just up to Central Office?

In March there's school on Ash Wednesday, and Purim, and Holi. Discrimination all around I guess?

They need to make January 29th a half day and not have any work given on January 30 due on the 31.

Whataboutism doesn’t work. The choice now is to impact one group, another group, or no groups.

The choice is to inconvenience a very small fraction of students by using the approved days during the school year when they would actually be beneficial for teaching and learning, or to inconvenience all 160,000 students by adding on days the week after school is to end, during which zero work will get done.
