College is big school....like work....you don’t get off for religious holidays. Suck it up!!
Most govt offices close or at least work at skeletal crews for Good Friday. In NYC and environs the public schools have closed for Rosh Hoshanah and Yom Kippur for as long as I can remember (and that exceeds 50 years). Wall Street and the rest of the city is empty. The only reason schools are already closed for Christmas is that “Winter Break” was based around, and a way to avoid using the word, “Christmas.” Let’s see how long these traditions last.
What are you talking about?
I've never worked on Rosh Hashanna. During the 15 years or so I was on salary, I always got paid for the day just as if I had worked. (Since 1983, I have effectively been self-employed so I could say that I have continued to pay myself but it's sort of meaningless.)
