[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]May 14 is the Maryland primary election. Wouldn’t June 14 make the most sense?[/quote]

No, as has been discussed at length, days tacked on to the very end of the year end up being useless. We've got other make-ups in the calendar. This really shouldn't be so complicated. Use the first make-up day that's available to preserve the others for the additional days that will be needed.[/quote]

That’s your opinion, but I personally think June 14 is a useful and better option in that it will upset/disrupt fewer people. No one has a one day camp starting that day. It doesn’t ignite a religious debate. It could have easily been the last day of school in the first place. I would even keep 6/13 as a half day, do 6/14 as a half day to give teachers time to wrap everything up and close out. [/quote]

Except it does excite a religious debate. If 6/14 is selected for instruction, teachers’ last work day becomes 6/17. This is Eid Al-Adha. So teachers will not be able then to celebrate either Eid (since they are blocked on the first one by planning and grading).[/quote]

Further emphasizing the absurdity of attempting to accomodate religious holidays.[/quote]

The absurdity of making it possible to have religious practice without significant hurdles... right. [/quote]
