[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]

+1000000. No other country does this.You stay home if it’s important to you. Surprise, surprise-there’s time for a fall break, 2 week winter break, February ski week, and spring break while starting after FCPS and ending before FCPS. [/quote]i

"No other country does this"  does what??  Shut down for religious holidays?  There are many countries that celebrate multiple religious holidays as government holidays, even if it's not the majority religion!  Shocker![/quote]
