[quote=Anonymous]As I understand it, Montgomery County's original position (although it might have changed since I was a child) was that it gave off RH and YK because so many of its teachers were Jewish and it was impractical to obtain substitutes. DCPS, historically, hasn't had this situation. Plus, when you look across the school district, the percentage of Jewish children is really quite low. As a practical matter, although DCPS doesn't have the day off, the teachers are aware and either don't assign homework or excuse the child from homework. My kids have never suffered from missing school on the HHDs. [/quote]
