[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most egregious thing is that the new holidays seem to have been added without any surveys or discussion about how many kids in the community actually observe them. I am not saying we need to get rid of the religious holiday, but it is ridiculous that we added them w/o discussion of how we would make up for the lost instructional time. I am Jewish, btw. But I’m also a teacher and the disjointed schedule in the beginning of the school year is very difficult to hit a stride. This is also the time when kids are most attentive and eager to learn and we should make the most of the beginning of the year. [/quote] +1. There needs to be some threshold. We can't observe every single holiday. Why did we pick these to add? How many students and staff observe them? As a percentage?[/quote]
