Closing School for the Holidays--Whose Holidays?
Purinton, Ted; Gunther, Vicki
Phi Delta Kappan, v93 n4 p33-37 Dec 2011
How educators, school board members, taxpayers, voters, parents, and students design a school calendar, in terms of both process and product, should be a reflection of how we desire to accommodate and conform diverse faiths within our communities. If, according to Dewey, the school is a reflection of society, then what does the inability to compose a fair and affirming way say about our orientation to diversity in broader areas of civic, business, and community life and how does that impact students?
