[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The number of teachers and subs who observe the Jewish holidays make it impossible to staff schools on those days. And then there are the number of Jewish students, who absolutely deserve days off for these holy days! A few years back, there was a movement to make these school days. I'm Catholic and it really made me angry. Why the heck is Easter Monday a state holiday when Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur could be school days?? It didn't make any sense. I'm very happy to have the system close so these families can observe their holy days.[/quote] +1 These days have always been observed in Montgomery county, even when I was in school. I am happy that we are observing them for our Jewish friends, colleagues and students. I am also happy that we respect and observe other religious holidays too. You can’t have it for one group and not have it for another group. [/quote]
