[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Muslim. To be honest I would prefer Eid to be an excused absence instead of a day off. There are just too many days off during the year. Having Eid recognized as a holiday on the calendar has been great of my kids. They feel included instead of outsiders. But that can be achieved by keeping Eid on the calendar, recognizing it as a holiday, and talking about it at school. We can do this for all the holidays, including Chinese New Year, Nowruz and the orthodox holidays which are currently not off. Everyone gets recognized but there is still school that day with an excused absence available for those who celebrate. [/quote] It already is an excused absence, all religious and cultural holidays are. It would be even better is if there were no test allowed on particular holidays. Education can happen, but no tests.[/quote]
