[quote=Anonymous]"If a Jewish students need to be observant to such a degree that they can’t keep up with school (once they are given ample time for makeups and have the chance to meet with the teacher), then they belong in a Jewish school. The vast majority of students a who are not Jewish should not lose a day of education because of a religious minority. "

This. It's that simple. And true for other religions and cultural observances.

I'm 100% fine with divorcing spring break from Easter. It shouldn't be hooked to Easter really; people don't tend to travel as much for it and it's more of a one day holiday not the week-long extravaganza xmas is.

I"m also fine with a week off at xmas time instead - so that we get from Xmas Even off (maybe 12/23 too at msot) through 1/1. That is a logistical reality that a huge % of people would simply not come if school were open.

But the reality is that school can operate just fine for all other holidays and cultural days. So it should not be closed nor should learning be banned on those days. But kids DO need teh time to make it up.   [/quote]
