First off, we had the day off for Martin Luther King Jr. day, but not Veteran's day. I think this is wrong because the way to teach kids these days is to give them something awesome, such as a day off. If the teachers teach us some stuff about Veterans, then most of the kids they teached will end up forgetting what they just just learned. But if they had the day off then the kids will remember that for a very long time. I would suggest teaching the kids something about Veterans before or after the day off, not on the day, because the kids would think it's just another school day. If Martin Luther King Jr. gets a holiday off school then how come the people who protect us from attacks doesn't? Why not have a day off school for the veterans, they risk their lives and leave their family behind. I think they deserve a little more than just a normal day of school since they are some vets who don't make it home and this is a day to remember them.
