No days off for Channukah "in order to fit in all the days we need for the year". In other words they have the minimum amount of school days allowed by law.
The Yeshiva High Schools should be aware that the angry YDS parents will soon be angry YHS parents and we will be demanding more education for our exorbitant tuitions. I know a lot of teachers are on board with more days as long as their kids' schools are off the same days so they have coverage.
Dear Parent:
