[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this thread proves there is no real appetite to balance the calendar. You can’t pretend one day off for Eid is the thing that tips us into mid June end dates while being wholly unwilling to consider parting with any of the 2 full weeks of winter break. You all want your travel time at Christmas. [/quote]

You don’t understand. They want OTHER people’s holidays ignored and dismissed. Not theirs.[/quote]

What school holidays are Christians getting other than the 2 weeks for NYE/Solstice/Christmas Eve? Everyone wants longer, more consecutive breaks with less random days off. 2 weeks at the end of December is untouchable.

I do not want spring break paired to Easter. Get rid of that. It makes it expensive to go on vacation and religious people can't vacation and celebrate the religious holiday.

I believe all the kids should get 2 religious excused absences a year. Most religious celebration begin at sundown anyways. I don't celebrate Good Friday until the sun goes down, it could be a school day.[/quote]
