[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven't we always had Rosh Hashanah off?  I did as a kid.  Why would it be the school board's fault?  Yes, the date changes every year, that's how it works.

My kid's at martial arts today.  It's fine.[/quote]

No.  The School Board sets the calendar and recently added the unnecessary religious holidays.

Parents want their kids in school consistently, not randomly taking days off.[/quote]

In all seriousness, has anyone brought this embarrassment of a calendar up with the School Board? This should be their priority quite frankly.  We don't need to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, Diwali, Eid, Christmas, Kwanza, Lunar New Year and whatever other nonsense holiday they conjure up instead of educating our kids before June!!![/quote]

+1. People are talking all about all the “unnecessary” holidays other than Christmas, so i’m really happy you put that on the list. I’m sure if the school board took off Christmas as a holiday there would be a huge problem on getting it back. Let people take their own days off of school if they want to celebrate their holidays. To the rest of us, we aren’t doing anything so why not go to school? [/quote]
Then we’ll hear from the, “Why are the kids at school when they’re just watching videos? They can’t learn new marital so I’m pulling them from school and letting them sleep in” contingent. [/quote]
