[quote=Anonymous]As a point of comparison, DCPS does not get the Jewish holidays off. We have not since my kids have been in school (I have a 9th grader). Schools, however, understand that some kids and teachers may be out on these days. No problem. Is this request worth all the vicious back and forth? To demand something from a school system that already has a carefully planned calendar seems like a group looking for a fight, to make some sort of point. I am the daughter/granddaughter of immigrants, very sensitive to other cultures. When my grandparents came to this country, they took a good look around and did their best to be respectful to everyone and to fit into the culture that they chose to live in. Not abandoning their own culture, religion, language but understanding that they were in a new place and needed to make some adjustments for their choice to find their success here. [/quote]
