[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They either need to come off the 180 day commitment or eliminate holidays — don’t care if religious or Columbus Day or whatever. Something has to give. The calendar is out of control. We’ve gotten nothing out of moving up a week. They just added more days off. All the nonsense about more instructional days before AP exams was just a scam to put in the religious holidays. [/quote]

go blame APE, they had their usual tantrum until APS caved and added this extra time. which no one wants and it's just a waste. [/quote]
Stop. You cannot blame this horrible calendar on APE. [/quote]

APE wanted more school days. You got em![/quote]
It went from 178/179 to 180[/quote]

yeah that's the 2 days people are complaining about having to be in school the week of Xmas-- Dec 21 and 22nd. Thanks APE![/quote]
Looks like Eid and Yom Kippur to me[/quote]

Oh sure let's have school on actual Jewish holidays so you can get two days off that are not even holidays the week of yours? [/quote]

As a Jew (not OP), I support this, and most (Reform Jewish) friends do as well. I didn't have Yom Kippur or Rosh Hashanah off when I was in school. No new material was taught those days. I'd rather have the same time off that friends/family have off.[/quote]
