[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public school should not stop because of Jewish holidays. The Xmas and Easter breaks are there for tradition only. There will always be Xmas trees in December, Santa on shopping malls, and egg hunt on Xmas. Get over it. And yes, the US was founded on Christian values. This is way Xmas and easter are traditions. [/quote] Admittedly I am half jewish and half christian so my traditions are muddled as it is, but I am not familiar with the Xmas egg hunt. If the easter break is tradition only let's make it spring break and stop moving it all over the calendar to follow Easter. It disrupts the school calendar, especially when it is late like it was last year and falls so close to AP exams, and is relatively close to the end of the school year. While we don't celebrate the Jewish holidays I don't have a problem with the kids having one day off. Our school is probably 40-50% Jewish so it would be a wasted day if they had school.[/quote]
