[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren’t the calendar choices out there for us to vote on. And the calendar with the majority is the one they use. I mean you get the calendar three years in advance. How are you not planning ahead it’s not like you get the calendar month-to-month. If you don’t like it, then run for school board.[/quote]

Did you actually do the calendar survey? There was no option to vote against the ton of extra days added that only a small minority of the system needs off on. [/quote]

I for one am glad that our school system respects a good number of minority groups in similar measure to majority groups.[/quote]

I'd rather [b]the school system respect academics and sound operating principles[/b].  Feel free to celebrate your religion on your own time, but let the rest of us go to school. [/quote]

That's exactly what they're doing, you just don't care to see it.[/quote]

This isn’t true. There is no pedagogical backing for such a disruptive calendar and most early childhood education experts would agree.[/quote]

Holding school on a day which will disadvantage students of particular faiths is not respecting academics (or at best, it is only respecting academics for students not of that faith) and is certainly not a sound operating procedure.[/quote]

Then those families should go to a relgious school.  Let the rest of us go to school.[/quote]

Nope.[/quote]
