- HaloZero 14y agoPlus you have days off from school that aren't national federal holidays, Cesar Chavez Day if I remember was one.
- skyhook_mockups 14y agoWell I'm from Australia, so I think there are at least another 5-10 public holidays that i'm not counting.
- timdiggerm 14y agoWhich days these are depends entirely on the state and school district, at least in the US. Districts with a low or no Jewish population aren't likely to take Rosh Hashanah off, etc.
- eli_gottlieb 14y agoHa! Districts outside of New York and LA mostly don't grant Rosh ha'Shanah off even if they do have a substantial Jewish population. Employers do similar: Jewish holidays come out of your vacation time because they're not "company holidays" like Christmas. Just noting, but Massachusetts never really stopped being Puritan. Oy gevalt.
- namdnay 14y agoThe problem with teaching is that your holidays are the same time as all the families, so you're stuck with the most expensive and crowded periods.
- jrnkntl 14y agoThat's why they always say there are two reasons to become a teacher: July and August.
