[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe keep religion out of public schools. Or, easier, end school before Memorial Day. [/quote] No kidding. We start earlier and earlier and still end “late”. [/quote] Ironically, if FCPS didn't have so many religious holidays, we could get out early enough to avoid this problem entirely. [/quote] For this year, sure, but this Eid moves earlier next year. The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar calendar which is notably shorter than the standard calendar we use. This means holidays move a few weeks earlier every year. The last time this happened was for the other Eid (the one to end Ramadan) that was 2ish months ago. [/quote]
