It’s a lot easier when you are a religious school and don’t have to accommodate more than one religion’s holidays. [/quote]

The public school shouldn't be accommodating any religious holidays.  And before someone drags up Christmas, it's far more than than a religious holiday in the US.[/quote]

IOW, “I got mine. Screw everybody else.”

And don’t try to claim you don’t celebrate Christmas because it’s an anonymous message board. Nope. Sorry.[/quote]

Not who you're responding to. But I celebrate Christmas in a secular way -no baby Jesus, nativity, church, etc. And sorry, it just IS different. It's cultural and ingrained, even celebrated by non-Christians in some ways. It just is. And there is the recognition that lots of places shut down, people travel etc. at this time of the year. So it is practical to close over the holidays (to include NY).

So you can drag up Christmas in some ridiculous attempt to show it is the same as other holidays . . . . but you just look foolish. It's different. A that will never change, ever. It just won't. [/quote]

So what? Your kids will still be off school for other religions’’ holidays. You’ll just have to deal with it. Not without whining, obviously, but that’s par for the course.[/quote]

It's "whining" to want a consistent school week that facilitates efficient learning?

This is what happens when public school is hijacked by social justice - instead of learning we get endless distractions. [/quote]

This.  Fairfax county public schools area mess. [/quote]
