[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools should not be off on religious holidays in the first place. If your family celebrates a religious holiday your kid should be allowed to stay home that day with an excused absence. They should not close the whole school system down so you can celebrate.

What happened to the separation of church and state in America?!  If I wanted that, I would have stayed in my own country, not immigrated here.

Why do all the schools close on basically every religious holiday?![/quote]
That’s fine. Are you okay with getting rid of the week and half off around Christmas then?[/quote]

Always with the Christmas. Seriously, give up.

Why? Diwali is 1 day and there is 1 day off from school - and I know that there are a few of those days. Christmas is 1 day and we get 10 days off, that 10x the amount for one day. [/quote]

Every college and school in this country has a winter break that separates the semesters, you ding dong. It’s been that way for quite a while. Very few school systems in this country give Diwali off. It’s not a national holiday. It’s not a federal holiday. It’s a ridiculous day off. [/quote]
