[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] yes, no more easter Monday, good Friday, MLK, Prez Day, Columbus Day, Professional goof-off days, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Eid off for the whole school district. If Good Friday or Rosh Hashanah is important to you, take a vacation day to pray, worship, fast, celebrate with your family in your homes and churches and temples. There should not be pushback for that, plus in most cases the parents are taking off of work as well. Now instead you can't "blame" the public school district for not being able to work and having a Fun Day Shopping. [/quote] For the gazillionth time -- Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are not off because they're religious holidays. They're off because MCPS believes, based on information that may or not be valid anymore, that, if there were school on those days, there would be more teacher absences than they can get subs for. Now, arguably, the same reason might apply for Good Friday (although I think it's unlikely).[/quote]
