RE: point 1: so if Christmas fell on a weekday, and if winter break was decoupled from Christmas (similar to what we're debating about Easter), we should be in school? How do you account for the absences that will be pervasive among staff and students?

Re: point 3: So you're mad that FCPS prioritizes professional development for teachers? [I'm not here to debate the quality of PD programs that FCPS offers, and many of them are not on the prescribed PD days which would mean engaging in it on our non-contract time anyway.] Of course, I see your slam about "whiny teachers", so it's clear where the comment's energy is coming from.

If Christmas did not fall during an already existing break, there would be so many absences from teachers and students that the schools would have to shut down.  There would be an operational reason to cancel school.  However, there is no operational reason to shut down for any of the religious holidays or "O" days recently added to the calendar.

It's great that FCPS prioritizes PD.  Do it during the summer, one of the endless breaks afforded to teachers, before or after school, or do it on your own time.[/quote]

Really? You would be fine with your employer requiring something and telling you to “do it on your own time”?  If it is during the summer or any of the other times you suggested you would have to pay them for that time! [/quote]
