[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where I work this problem is solved by giving everyone two floating holidays a year in addition to normal vacation time. The idea is that these can be used to take off on religious holidays so that people are free to take off for theirs without everyone having to take off. But their use is not limited to religious holidays; everyone gets them and can use them as they see fit. If it was implemented in a way that teachers would have to give sufficient advance notice for using them, why couldn't this work? [/quote] This is a fine idea, but it only addresses the teacher side, not the student side. If too many kids are missing, it becomes something of a lost instructional day. Now, I don't think there are enough observant Hindu kids at any given school that more than 10% would be missing, but I might be wrong. [/quote]
