[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are absolutely ridiculous! No one wants surveys. Just fix the silly calendar in a manner that minimizes all these fragmented weeks![/quote] You can’t fix the calendar without getting rid of religious/cultural holidays in an extraordinarily diverse county. Constituents of those communities should have the say on whether those days are student holidays. If Indians are good with school on Diwali, great. If Jewish folks are good with only one of Rosh/Yom and Muslims are good with only one of the Eid’s, also great. But, no, you can’t have a bunch of white/black school board members simply stating that we aren’t going to observe the non-Christian holidays anymore because parents are annoyed that they have to find child care.[/quote]
