[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is returning to school after June 13. They'll probably get a waiver.[/quote]

They won't get a waiver unless they use at least some makeup days first.[/quote]
January 29 and March 31 are avaliable.

As is June 6. [/quote]
And all 3 are religious holidays. [/quote]

Our choices are either religious holidays or extending the school year into the following week.[/quote]

Extend and don’t persecute [/quote]

No way. Use the holidays as makeup days, and if you observe you get an excused absence anyway.[/quote]

You often only get 1 day to make up work. If you have an obligation the next day, you can’t do it. It’s persecution. [/quote]

:roll: [/quote]

Use your brain. You miss school on Monday and going on Tuesday. Your assignments for Monday and Tuesday are due on Wednesday! You then have to skip any extracurricular activities Tuesday to have the time to do all that work. Basically, because of your religious holiday, you lose your extracurricular activities and work double that day. That’s persecution because instead you maybe skip the religious holiday.[/quote]

Do the work ahead of time over the weekend.[/quote]

For many classes, that is not an option. The assignment is given on the day of school for the kids to do in class and based on what that just learned. That means the teacher may not provide the lesson required to do the work, may not give the assignment ahead of time, etc.

Also, people have weekend obligations like weddings and extracurricular activities, as well as religious activities like fasting!

Just extend the school you and don’t target one religious group.[/quote]
