[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have TWO days off next week.  How?!?!  I get it, Diwali, but how about any teacher who doesn't celebrate Diwali uses Monday as their work day, and we just give the handful of Diwali-celebrating teachers subs on Tuesday?  It's insane.[/quote]

Having off for the Jewish High Holy days had been wonderful this year and long overdue. As a school employee AND a parent it is so nice to bed able to observe these religious holidays without needing to use a personal day. In the past school have had teacher work days on religious holidays but I still had to use a personal day and somehow had to make up the work I missed. This is equity in action.[/quote]
As a Jewish person who doesn’t really care about the high holy days, and doesn’t get off work AND had to pay care for my kid AND has a longer school year because of all these holidays off, you can kindly shove it. When I take off work I too still have to catch up done because I don’t make widgets in a widget factory.

These days off are performative as hell, and extremely disruptive to the cadence of learning in the younger grades. [/quote]
