[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There never will be happy parents in FCPS. I, for one, am happy that for once my family's holidays (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur) are recognized and that at least my youngest child won't have to endure tests and quizzes on the Holy Days. This year, despite that BS thing called "Religious Observance", my middle child had to take THREE tests on Yom Kippur. No one gave a shit that it was a religious holiday. And dear me, we will have 9 weeks of summer break and not 10. Are you people filthy rich? Aren't you tired of paying for summer care week after week.[/quote]

No one cared because there was no secular reason for Yom Kippur to be a day off at school. [b]Religion is completely optional and has no place in public schools. If you want your child to take off religious holidays without disruption then go to one of the many private religious schools out there.[/b] [/quote]

+100%  YES[/quote]

+1. Agreed. If you want to take off a religious holiday, take your kids out of school. The rest of us do not have to miss school or claim holidays for the myriad of religious or cultural holidays that people want off. Secular schools please!![/quote]

Lmao chill we’re not dropping Christmas nor spring break. We’re adding Diwali and other stuff so chill xD[/quote]

Quit bringing up Christmas. They will always have that off. Always. It's part of winter break and too many people celebrate SOME aspect of it. It's just different, even if it's unfair. Spring break and Easter have been decoupled (a good move). The rest should be no part of the calendar in any way. [/quote]

Nah, I bring it up because it’s the most important break of the year. So important that Muslims, Hindus and other religion followers even take advantage of it and love being off during that time. I don’t see anyone going so thrilled about you kippur or Diwali or something else. So nah, I will keep bringing up CHRISTMAS. and GOD BLESS YOU AND AMERICA [/quote]

Oh, you’re dumb. Sorry. Didn’t realize.[/quote]
