Okay, I'm a little late posting on this... it's your SITS Day and so I'm looking around your blog. I totally agree with you! In our school district it happens to be that they take off Cinco De Mayo... the school board swears everyone celebrates it, but given that most students in the district are from Asian families... I have my doubts! Not to mention that they purposefully never put spring break next to Easter. Which is why I am so glad I am now homeschooling the older two and will be homeschooling the 3rd next year. We are done with this district!

I don't think it is whiney at all. I think it is sadly too too true. Sometimes it seems schools are unconcerned with teaching respect, awareness, and courtesy, but then they can't figure out why they aren't respected like teachers used to be.

I came to your blog for Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop, and ended up reading this blog as well. I completely understand your frustration.

I am a Marine Wife, and my husband just ended up on recruiting duty. So this is the first year my children have attended school at a "civilian" school, before they attended school on base.

Veteran's day is all to often looked at as a day off, instead of what it really is.

If you want them to have a lesson in how their freedom was earned for them...you can read my blog. It is the reality my children lived with everyday while living on base, whether it was one of their friends father's, or just the signs posted across the base.

I am really glad to hear that you want your children to learn the true meaning. God Bless you!!
