It amazes me how whiny parents are these days. When I was a kid, it didn't matter what day school fell on or how much I did not want to go...my parents realized the importance of being there and made me suck it up and go. Now, parents are like "Wahh Wahh theres no way my baby is going to school on a weekend" or "We demand equality in education, top notch instruction and diversity in schools, but don't you dare take my MLK day away from me".

No wonder kids are in such bad shape today, parents cater to them hand and foot instead of laying down the rules, setting boundaries and stressing responsibility. Great job parents!
