As many people may have realized, we don't have school on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but yet we still have school on Veteran's Day. The district says that they have school on Veteran's Day to educate students about Veteran's Day, but that is highly hypocritical. If they really believe that we should have school on certain holidays, just to learn about that holiday, would it really make sense to call school off on others? It would make more sense as a district to give students Veteran's Day to spend time with their friends or relatives who are veterans, instead of making them go to school for the day.
