Annie12 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 So, My school doesn't get an Easter Break! We have to wait two more weeks for a break! I don't like it one bit! What has become of America?!?!?!? There is no respect for religion in our society anymore! ( Not really mad. just making a point ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm going on 16 years without one. But in college you can skip class on Good Friday afternoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggyie Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Wait until you get a job in the real world! You'll be happy to get one day off for Christmas (I know I am!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissScripture Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I got annoyed that even at a Catholic school we didn't get Holy Thursday off. In highschool it was a joking annoyance. In college I was seriously annoyed, because I had to travel 6 hours home, so I couldn't make it to Holy Thursday Mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie12 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'm actually planning on going into religious life after college so I will never get a very long break but doesn't it make sense to have the break around Easter out of respect for the season at least for school? I think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Our public schools had spring break about two weeks ago, but they have Friday off. (We are taking the whole week off...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Vega Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 We don't get it either. Probably won't stop me from not going to class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missionseeker Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I wwork at least on Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. Probably Good Friday too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Therese Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have to work Good Friday (which is also my birthday), Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. I also had to work on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Nursing is no respecter of holidays. Or days off, for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archaeology cat Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I did like that Good Friday and Easter Monday were Bank Holidays in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
