[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We should only get Federal Holidays off. We don't need Yom Kippur off.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

That's cool. Some parents work for a living. [/quote]
So use a vacation day? It must be so easy to just take a day, since that's the suggestion for Jewish teachers and students to just take time off to observe Yom Kippur.[/quote]

It’s not hard to take A day off particularly to mark a day you celebrate. It is burdensome to have to take like 5-6 days off all for holidays you don’t celebrate. It’s not just Yom Kippur. It’s multiple other days that were added too. [/quote]

ding ding ding!
I feel like the person arguing may be newish to the USA and not used the the blending we've got going on here. Lots of compromise rather than edicts.

And that’s the beauty of living in the United States of America.[/quote][/quote]
