[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think probably the stupidest thing in the world is closing but not saying the real reason you are closing. [/quote]

The real reason MCPS is closing is because there would be a lot of absences on that day if they didn't. Or do you think that MCPS celebrates Christmas?[/quote]

So what-- are they going to call it "high expected absence day" on the calendar?  [/quote]

Winter Break and Spring Break.  [/quote]

That is the perfect solution. Good for them![/quote]

Which, btw, is what DCPS and a zillion other districts around the country already do.

This is not news, people.[/quote]

Exactly. MCPS is behind.  And it's incredible to me that Starr did not propose this.  He proposed leaving the names of Christian holidays and stating that that was the reason for the days off (Christmas and Easter) but removing the names of the Jewish holidays.  At least the school board was able to come up with a reasonable solution.  [/quote]
