[quote=Anonymous]I like the days off. The calendar was put out months ago and my spouse and I set a schedule to cover childcare while school is closed. My daughter came home on Friday asking about what Diwali was so we spent some time looking up information about it, giving her more appreciation for other cultures and their traditions. If we are going to have a full 2 weeks off where those celebrating Christmas can travel to see family, the least we can do is allow a few more prominent minority religions in the area one or two days to observe their own holidays. I personally would rather move winter break back to mid/late January at the end of the 2nd quarter and just give the federal holidays of Christmas Day and New Years Day off but I know that would never fly. As for people saying just have religious holidays be days with no tests/quizzes, that has been the suggestion for years but ask any Jewish person how well it was followed. [/quote]
