Whats the deal with that?
Is it about giving non-Jewish employees a day off for Christmas, which
is on Sunday this year? For that do they
need both Friday and Monday? Is there no
way the school can function for one day without the non-Jewish employees? I would understand giving the day off on
Christmas day itself in consideration to the bus drivers and neighbors but this
year there really is no excuse.
We’re working hard to pay tuition bills and we get slapped
in the face by schools giving completely unnecessary days off and making it
really hard on the parents. No, the
teachers aren’t just babysitters but having them in school does in fact perform
that function (among other functions).
He’atid announced at the open house that they will have
classes on election day (to wild applause).
I hope they will also have classes on Channukah. Time to put the needs of the parents and the
educational needs of the children ahead of the convenience of the faculty. We have 20 or so less days than the
public schools and we should try to make up every day we can.
