I don't think I could possibly care any less. With all the bullshit teacher development days every year... - Jim Jul 1, 09:50
I'd say "Excused day off for children of that religion, but not for others." -- nm - Ender Jul 1, 09:48 3
- A parent can hold a child home from school for a religious observance, no special occurance needed. - musubi Jul 1, 09:52
- the problem with that is that those kids then get a day behind their classmates. - znufrii Jul 1, 09:50 1
  - Our teachers couldn't intro new work on days like Rosh Hashana? or whatever. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 1, 09:53
No. As said below, I don't like any religious holidays being on a school calendar. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 1, 09:46 1
- I agree. -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 09:51
Public schools shouldn't be off for religious holidays at all. Or off for all of them. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 1, 09:43
