[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Diwali is a fun holiday. Our whole neighborhood celebrates with parties and fireworks. [/quote]

Couldn’t your celebration continue after school for those who are there for fun and not religious beliefs? Do we really need to shut the system down?[/quote]

MCPS does that for all religions- Jewish holidays, Ramadan, Easter, Christmas etc. As an Indian immigrant, I did not request or vote for this day to be given a school holiday. We still have to go to work and do not celebrate it until that evening. MCPS aligns those dates with end of quarter/ grading/ teacher work days- so no there are no extra school days off because of Diwali.[/quote]

No, the month of Ramadan is not an off for children or teachers.[/quote]

Don’t be stupid. We are not shutting down a school system for a month. Then, you would complain about learning loss.

There is a day off for Eid. [/quote]

I think PP was trying to gently correct the person who doesn't know the difference between Ramadan and Eid[/quote]
