The area where I work has canceled school today so that the kids whose parents can't afford to send them something, don't have to feel humiliated/left out due to other parents who can send their child a teddy bear or something...


god this generation is gonna be even bigger pussies than the one before it

Sounds dumb.

But then so does your generational generalization.

Sorry you're so upset.

I hope this makes you feel better.

School should not allow gifts to be sent to the school. How hard is this?

Is this really a thing? Parents are sending their kids Valentine's Day gift to school? So stupid.

We would make a "mailbox" out of an old shoebox and just exchange valentines with our classroom and eat some candy. What was wrong with that?

Valentines Day was always cancelled for me until 11th grade.

Are you sure its not just winter break or teacher planning. Seems odd they would cancel for this, considering they are required to attend so many hours a year.

My kid was telling me some of his friends in Washington were bragging about no school today.

Our local district has today off for students and teachers (was one of the built in weather makeup days; since no closure due to weather yet, they get it off). Monday is a planning day, so kids get a 4 day weekend.

apparently they had school last year but decided to cancel it this year, I guess due to unhappy kids/ parents

and they also get monday off for President day too .

Being humiliated or feeling left out for being poor should motivate those to do better
