[quote=KenWittlief]christmas holiday

Actually, I don't see why there's a special break for Christmas when Jews have to miss a day of school for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, or such, and Chinese New Year, when skipped, counts as an unexcused abscence (read:truancy) because it's not a "religious holiday."
To me, something like extending semester break another week (it's
1/15-1/18 now) and letting Christians take the 25th off if they want to sounds a lot more fair.
