[quote=Anonymous]Adding the cultural and religious holidays this year was a big mistake and every. single. year. is going to be a mess which each group lobbying for their holiday. The problem with many of those holidays as they are not set like Federal holidays. They aren't always the same date every single year. The best approach - federal holidays, winter break, spring break - 3/4 floater holidays that teachers and students can take without penalty. Guidelines for teachers that major tests or assignments are not due on certain religious /cultural holidays and those should be determined by the demographics of the students in the school. The largest demographics are the ones that get considered. If there are a handful of students, then they discuss directly with the teacher/principal. The longer and tighter they hold on to the idea that they can please everyone and be "inclusive" and "equitable" [/quote]
