[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LCPS school day is longer.   Personally I think it is ridiculous that just b/c you have extra minutes  each day it adds up such that you do not need 180 school days - but this is the reason. [/quote]

No that is not it. It’s bc Loudoun doesn’t have the Jewish holidays off.[/quote]

And Muslim, Hindi, and Greek Orthodox holidays. FCPS added more then Jewish holidays this year. Your response makes me think you are anti-Semitic since you [b]keep harping[/b] on the Jewish holidays but skip the other religious holidays that were added. [/quote]

Keep harping? I made one post. Those are the first holidays early on in the school year. I disagree that we need those off, as well as Diwali or whatever other holidays were added. That does not make me anti Semitic at all.[/quote]

The same comment has been made in in other topics. The emphasis is on the Jewish holidays not the additional religious holidays. Kind of gross that people are focused on one religion when there are at least four different religions accounting for the extra days off, and one of those religions is Christian.

I don’t think we need the religious holidays off, the only reason Christmas is off is because it is in the middle of the Winter Holiday and is a Federal Holiday. I am fine with keeping them as O days and not allowing Teachers to assign work that is due on them or hold tests on those days. But I can at least see that the new holidays are from a variety of religions and not one. [/quote]

They reversed the O day policies. Teachers can teach and assign work in those days next year.[/quote]

They can also test, but need to offer a makeup.  O days are now essentially an excused absence.  [/quote]
