Religious Holidays in Public Schools

i think that since schools are supposed to be educating kids to move on out into the world, it should be structured more like the "real world". specific schedules, year round, planning your vacations. deadlines and responsibilities...and consequences for not meeting them.

i think too much is put on the shoulders of the teachers, when kids refuse to learn or live up to the requirements of getting educated. these young folks need to learn about responsibility and accountability somewhere. i think that by restructuring the school system, that can be managed.

now that my rant is over...the holidays need to be handled just like they would be on any job. i think shift "work" might be also be an option for those kids (like my niece) who would rather be up all night and sleep all day.

ok, i'm done now.
