[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the whole idea of ignoring all cultural traditions instead of learning about all of them is pretty myopic. How is it being respectful of diversity to ignore it? Is it the end if the world- no. Is it a missed opportunity to improve a kid's cultural competence - yes.[/quote] Ignoring all cultural traditions? No, it's observing the law against government sponsored religion. [/quote] If that's the case, why do is there a two week Christmas vacation? If everybody's so against celebrating Christmas, this week two vacation should be abolished.[/quote] Well, as Christians who celebrate for 14 days -- Christmas Eve through Epiphany -- we are grateful that the secular "winter break" coincides so nicely with Christmastide. Incidentally, the DCPS "spring break" coincides with Holy Week and Easter in 2014. Unfortunately, this means that we can't go away for spring break in 2014. :( [/quote]
