[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We should not have these holidays off or as observance days- 
Rosh Hashanah
Yom Kippur
Diwali
Eid al Fitr
Eid al Adha[/quote]

Sounds about white. [/quote]

If my kids go to a Jewish school, they don't celebrate all the Christian and Pagan holidays so enough with your virtue signaling. My "whitness" can't move to move to India and demand the entire country to give all "whites" paid days off for American holidays? Your insistent cultural neediness is exhausting and disruptive to the learning of ALL students. If you want cultural handholding go to an international school, not public. [/quote]

Wrong. Public caters to ALL, whether you like it or not. [/quote]

It’s not catering to anyone with this calendar. Just saw a HS teacher on Facebook saying that all the holidays have completely negated the entire rationale for starting school before Labor Day, which was to give more time to prepare for SOLs. But I guess lower achievement is fine as long as we hold space for everyone and they feel seen! [/quote]
