[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a family who celebrates Diwali, I am happy that APS acknowledges one of our holidays. Wish they did more of them. No complaints for Christmas and Easter I see? *crickets* [/quote] More of them? So if each of top 5 or so faiths in terms of proportion of adherents gets ~2-4 holidays from school, when will the kids actually be in class? [/quote] Agree. I did pay attention to this issue and the truth is no one will object because then you’ll be viewed as insensitive to other cultures. APS is hamstrung by teacher contracts when it comes to prep days/time/breaks and it may get worse with collective bargaining. (And, no, I’m not anti-teacher, APS doesn’t pay its teachers nearly enough and has terrible benefits compared to other districts.) [/quote]
