[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup. I was told I can't even play review games because that would give some kids more learning opportunities than others. Nowhere is that written in the insane regulation. They gave us a lot of what-not-to-do and very little as far as suggestions for what we CAN do.[/quote]

You must have missed the email where they told us we can share information about the holiday  :roll: [/quote]

Haha, yep![/quote]

So if fcps is suggesting that teachers are to share lessons on the newly added non Christian religious holidays, is fcps is also now recommending that teachers share lessons on the Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter that were previously not supposed to be mentioned in favor of generic "holiday" or "winter"?

I stongly support adding, recognizing and teaching the major holidays of different religions,  but fcps now saying teachers should teach several faith's holidays as religious holidays, while for years not allowing any mantion even if the name of another faith's holidays unless it was in a purely distorted secular way is just unacceptable.

If fcps is adding all these religions holidays to the calendar and curriculum,  then Christmas and Easter as religious holidays (not just snowmen and bunnies) needs to also be included in the curriculum.[/quote]
