It’s astounding how many posters here love to pick on teachers.

I use to be shocked by this too but I'll be honest after seeing the teachers my kids have had in high school I understand it more.

Get a grip, teachers. This isn't about you.

"Get a grip, teachers"? Huh? Do you think teachers made the calendar? Where have they "lost their grip"? I am very confused. It seems you have some displaced anger and you've, for some irrational reason, chosen to blame teachers for your anger.

Where did you read that any teachers thought Lunar New Year was about them?

Yes, President's Day on the 16th is not a religious holiday, thank you for making sure we're all aware of that. Sure does make sense why Americans celebrate it though, since George Washington was America's 1st President and all... Maybe take your complaints to your congressman for that one.

Unless of course you're talking about the 17th, which teachers have off for a teacher workday (not for Lunar New Year), but that would require you to do demonstrate the basic research skills of being able to Google the FCPS calendar.

Let's see, looking at the FCPS calendar notes that Feb 17th is Lunar New Year. If the teacher workday has nothing to do with Lunar New Year, then why is it noted on the calendar? Why do we need another workday 2 weeks after the previous one?

We all know these days are intended to hide all the unnecessary holidays the school board added.

My brother in christ, there a a ton of days that are noted on the calendar that have other things happening the same day. Cum hoc ergo propter hoc, should've been another thing you evidently did not learn in school.

Yes, it's all the unnecessary religious holidays they added. What's your point?

Lunar New Year is not religious!!

trust me, there is no impact on kids.

hire home help if you need kid coverage.

It’s a bunch of dudes with disappointing endowments (financial and otherwise) and the women trying to please them. They have no real value to offer the world, so they spend their time crapping on people who actually do the work while they’re hopping on a quick call to go over the deck for the deliverables.
