#1 Three less days to miseducate the kids. If we look hard enough I bet we could find religious reasons for 365 different days - except Christmas and Yom Kippur.

#5 Sure, have all religious holidays observed in the Greater New York City area, no sweat. The kids will only be in school for 98 days out of 365 days in a year.

Hey and while you are at it, repeal the child labor laws, so the city can ask them to pay for their own education when they do attend school.
