[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's a Christian (or other religion) school, I doubt they are worried about "offending" OP with religious talk or that they will provide alternate assignments based on OP's religion.  A primary function of most religious schools are to teach religion.
However if they find that many of their students are of a different culture (not even necessarily a different religion) and will be taking a holiday off to observe, the school might alter their schedule to avoid disruption. 
For example, if they already know several months (or even a year) in advance that multiple children will not be in school on X date, they might avoid scheduling class pictures or the school chorus concert or something that day.[/quote]

That argument doesn't fit here since they are asking mid-year. The family doesn't care which holidays the kid will celebrate otherwise they would have spoken to the school about it. Pressing for that information is not necessary. It sounds like the school has nothing better to do. [/quote]
One teacher responded to OP’s comment in a conversation and one person sent an email. It hardly sounds like anyone is “pressing” or “keeps asking” as OP’s title says.

OP- If you didn’t want to talk about what holidays you do or don’t celebrate, you shouldn’t have brought it up! They are responding to YOUR comment![/quote]
