[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never lived in a school district that gave the high holidays off. I understand that when you move from one to the other it seems like you are "missing out" but it isn't a lot of school districts in the US that do it. I suggest you do what everyone else here is saying - just get over it, have your kids take the days off and receive an excused absence.[/quote]

"get over it?" [b]How would you feel if school was open for Christmas[/b] and Easter or a holiday you observed? As for never living in a school district that gave the high holidays off plenty of them do so just because you haven't experienced it doesn't mean it's the norm. [/quote]

Well, I probably wouldn't like Saudi Arabia or the UAE or Indonesia or whatever you're imagining.  However, having grown up in a Western nation I've come to expect Western norms.  That includes whatever the national (in our case, Federal) holidays are.

I don't have to imagine this weirdo place you want me to, because I don't live there.  And if I thought I'd hate it, I wouldn't move there.  Sheesh.[/quote]

You sound fun. [/quote]
