[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] In the past we never had the Jewish holidays off. It’s newer as too many teachers took off and not enough subs. [/quote] How far back in the past are you talking about? I went to school in the late 80's and we were off for Jewish holidays. [/quote]
