That&#x2019;s not fair!&#x201D;&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nEnd of memory.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nI later realized what happened in that 4<br \/>\n<sup>th<\/sup><br \/>\n-grade classroom.&#xA0; Jacob was a Jewish child.&#xA0; The teacher was trying to provide an alternative for him while the Christian majority took the opportunity to celebrate Christmas traditions.&#xA0; Now knowing this, I wonder about Jacob.&#xA0; How did he feel about being removed from his classmates?&#xA0; Was he old enough to comprehend why? &#xA0;Did he judge our traditions? Did we judge his? &#xA0;How many other times did this story (or a similar one) repeat itself?&#xA0; I also wonder how the other students understood the series of events. &#xA0;Was the class given the opportunity to learn from the presence of religious diversity present in our classroom?&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nFast forward to my own teaching experiences.&#xA0; In working with Muslim and Jewish youth, I have been confronted with the reality of a Christian-centered academic calendar and how it privileges and marginalizes.&#xA0; While Christians are assured time off for religious observances, students of other faiths must make arrangements to complete missed assignments.&#xA0; In most cases, it is an accepted practice by all involved.&#xA0; However, when the issue of attendance is the focus, there are some serious inequities.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nNon-Christian students, while afforded the right to be absent for their religious practices, face the reality that these absences remain on their academic record.&#xA0; Young children who strive for perfect attendance awards must forego the recognition of this achievement.&#xA0; In some instances districts have created Saturday school make-up sessions in an effort to recoup per-student funding that is lost when students are absent.&#xA0; It is a pretty creative solution to this funding issue.&#xA0; However, despite the student&#x2019;s effort to attend these Saturday sessions, the absence is not removed from their record.&#xA0; Only the school district benefits from this elaborate plan.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nThere is much rhetoric about educational transformation. The ideas of collaboration, critical thinking, and cooperation are often stressed.&#xA0; If we truly believe these ideas are the future of education, then we must reconsider how we can reconfigure our educational spaces in a way that exemplifies these ideas in practice.&#xA0; Surely, removing children from classrooms cannot be our most creative solution.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nFor valuable information related to religion in public schools, please visit&#xA0;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freedomforum.org\/publications\/first\/teachersguide\/teachersguide.pdf\">http:\/\/www.freedomforum.org\/publications\/first\/teachersguide\/teachersguide.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been confronted with the reality of a Christian-centered academic calendar and how it privileges and marginalizes.
