[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The excused absences for religious holidays argument is kind of difficult because I don't think we can legally require families and students to state their religious beliefs.  As a teacher I am pretty sure I can get in a lot of trouble if I asked students to prove they observed a religious holiday in order to get an excused absence or extension on an assignment.[/quote]

For sure, it should be a no questions asked policy. [/quote]

As a teacher, why should I schedule any instruction to be done on those days knowing that I will have to excuse and reteach it to an undetermined amount of students each time?  [b]You can try to tell me that I'm being lazy but show me anyone who is willing to do a job twice just for the hell of it.[/b][/quote]
For the hell of it? You’d be paid on both of those days to provide instruction. You’d be teaching a different set of students the second time, even if you’re teaching the same content.[/quote]
