[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see you getting indignant over Jewish holidays, OP.[/quote] Jew here — yep! We ALWAYS have to take off for Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Pesach … you don’t hear us complaining, because we get that the USA isn’t a Jewish country. We deal. The Muslims do the same. Why do you need to be the one complaining?[/quote] +1 I think more Jewishy schools do have excused absences or give the day off for Yom Kippur. Maybe. [/quote] Yep but it’s rare. It’s one reason we picked Montgomery County because they do give off. But even in the early 2000s at a college where almost a third of the student body was Jewish, professors regularly scheduled exams on the High Holidays and got snippy if you asked for a makeup date. So, not feeling super sorry for OP. Deal with it like the rest of us do. [/quote]
