[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the way, May 3rd isn’t a made up holiday. It’s Eastern Orthodox Good Friday. While that’s my religion and I hope that people don’t insult it, I don’t believe schools need the day off for it. Most churches offer an evening service to accommodate since our entire lives prior to recently, it’s never been a school holiday.[/quote] What percentage of students are eastern orthodox, and is it a high enough percentage that a significsnt number of students will miss school that day? That should be the standard for having these cultural days off. Otherwise, the students should just get an excused absence. May holidays mess with AP exams. Having off penalizes many students.[/quote] I believe this is a public education and separation of church and state is a thing. We are trying to accommodate all religions when all the does is make for an inefficient and choppy calendar everyone. [/quote]
