Veteran's day is not about you, so stop being selfish. You're not a veteran, you can go to loving school.

You're right, but it would still be nice to take my mom out for a nice lunch on this day rather then be in school. Did you ever think that it may be more then just me having a day off? Clearly not.

Sucks for you

We always have class on Remembrance Day in the UK, I don't see what the big deal is. We have a minutes silence and get straight back to lessons.

Take her out for a nice dinner? It seems like you're just bitching to get a day off from school. There''s no reason for it to be a day off because nobody would do anything different on it.

Not sure if my school has a day off in Veteran's Day, but I have Noon Dismissal this Friday

So do most schools.

Mister Cheese · November 11, 2013, 10:54:29 PM

I did too, didn't complain.
I wouldn't have minded if we missed a day, but I don't feel entitled to miss a day of school because of a holiday that is more minor but can still be celebrated without having to miss school

Bisjac · November 11, 2013, 10:56:53 PM

we celebrate our fighting men and woman, by all going about our lives as normal.
because they "sacrificed" for that honor. XD

Today is the day is supposed to day the first world war ended, basically it was originally used remember the first world war and those that died in it. However the US changed it to remember veterans of all wars.

So glad I didn't have school

Slept in, went to the parade, ate lunch, went for a walk and a motorcycle ride
