I just want to know about people who are like me and come from a family of different religions. I celebrate both Christian and Jewish traditions and claim no religion as my own. Why don't we just adjust the calendar to have the first semester of school end in the middle of Dec. like at most universities and start a new semester off at the beginning of the new year, that way we can call it a semester break and forget the religions all together. The idea that we need HS students to work that last month of the summer is ridiculous there are plenty of people out there that are looking for work.
