I wouldn't want the others to hinder in activities and celebrations. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would reference the holiday but always have an alternative assignment prepared for anyone with religious conflicts. If it is a celebration, I would inform the student that he or she was not required to participate.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I don't like this solution because it utterly excludes the student to their face, I've seen teachers Send notes home stating a holiday celebration is happening on x day, and you might want to keep your child home that day, otherwise i have an alternative desk assignment for them to do. Now how fun does that sound?
