[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do MoCo public schools close on every major Jewish holiday? Please explain how that is fair to Christians?[/quote] Mo Co schools close on 3 major Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, and at least this year, Spring Break coincides with Pesach. They close for 2 major Christian holidays, but give extended breaks at those times, Christmas and Easter. As someone who sometimes travels for the holidays I celebrate (Christmas and Easter), I prefer the latter. I have trouble understanding how that's unfair to me as a Christian. My guess is that both decisions are largely financial. If the school stayed open on either set of holidays they'd have a significant numbers of teachers and students out. This would mean significant sub costs, combined with financial penalties for having low attendance. In addition, I can't imagine that MCPS wants to deal with the fallout of having people complain about losing something they've always had. [/quote]
