This topic is very dumb because we should not have school on this day. Vertans day is about the Vertans and there is a lot of kids that have dad, grandpas, and relatives that our Vertans. The family's should be able to spend there day respecting the Vertans. Not at school having to learn about them? With all do respect, we are 13,14,and 15 years old we already know about vertands day. We have talked about them for like 7 years now, this day should have no school , to have respect for the people who fought for our freedom. This year should not be any different than any other year.!
