Some girls’ schools have school on Sunday. I had school on sunday from fifth grade on.
I think it is goyish and poor chinuch to have off on Sunday. Someone once tried arguing with me that a girls’ job is to be home helping her mother, not sitting in school learning.
Two problems with that argument:
1. Then why are we sending them to school 5 days a week? Obviously, we do think they should be in school. And don’t say it’s to keep them off the streets. That is a pathetic way to look at girls’ purpose in life. She’s doing what she is doing all day just to keep her off the street even though it has no purpose? If that is what their mechanchim and parents think, what kind of message are you giving over? That their life has no purpose or meaning and the only thing that matters is that they stay off the streets!!!
2. If the point were that they should be home helping their mothers, they would have off on Friday and not on Sunday.
And yes, they should have off on Friday as well as from Rosh Chodesh Nissan until the end of Pesach.
