[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think all these calendars and the multitude of religious days off is ridiculous. I don't know why we have to start 2 weeks before Labor Day because the religious camps insist on having their religion dictate the school calendars. If you must celebrate YK or RH, go to a Jewish school. Diwali or Bohdi Day? I guess go to an Indian school, or learn to adapt. And now we have Eid and Ramadan off?

Let's see how many more groups we can accommodate so that we start in July and have 2 days off each week. This wokeness is out of control.

And you religious folk need to stop forcing your religious observances on the rest of us. [/quote]

This is an appalling attitude.  Even if you don’t think religious holidays should result in school closures, telling minoritized groups to go elsewhere is disgusting.   Opinions differ greatly and there is no calendar that will make everyone happy.  It’s okay to disagree and debate, but maybe try to be a little more respectful in your discourse. [/quote]

So why do atheists have to tolerate their year being constantly disrupted by other people's religions? What about that group of people? I want a calendar that has breaks embedded in the year and that decision-making should be made based on what we know about productivity, mental health, and burnout across students and staff.

7:45 PP here-- sure, let's consider that.   I'm just saying that telling minority groups to go elsewhere if they don't prefer the majority/Christian based calendar is gross.  [/quote]
