Wow. This is an incredibly biased response.

It's totally ridiculous. But this year is better than last year.

I'm the outlier that loves all the random days off in FCPS. The long weekends give us a chance to see family, relax, whatever.
I completely disagreed with the previous O day policy where they couldn't teach any new material or give a test or take a field trip. That was more of an issue than the days off. But recognizing major religious holidays with a school closure is fine with me.

And yet, no one cares for your opinion. The calendar was posted months ago and the days off are listed at the bottom. Are you just here to make trouble?

Your 6th grader will survive a day off.

I grew up in NY with a large Jewish population.
There is such a small Jewish population here in NOVA.

If you don't observe, it's a great day to tour colleges with your high schoolers.
