[quote=Anonymous]It really comes down to the percentage of students who are Jewish. They will give the day off if there will be too many students absent. (Contrary to other thread, it has nothing to do with "respecting" Judaism.) So that can be a kind of proxy for number of Jewish students, if thats the sort of thing you care about. All schools say that they will excuse absences and give a lighter load on those days but the Cathedral schools violate that in the upper grades by having tests and heavy homework on those days so that by junior and senior year many of the Jewish students don't take the days off.[/quote]
