Was Valentine's Day a day off for kids in school?

No it was not. It may have been for private schools, but not for most. The reason is below:\n\nThanksgiving(lets say) is a national holiday for America. Therefore, all schoold had a small vacation. Although most people consider valentines day a holiday, It is not. It is a made up day given to people to show how much you love them.\n\n\nIn conclusion, most schools did not have off for valentines day.

Please tell me what this has to do with Valentine's Day. You posted the question under that topic, and I don't see the relationship between a holiday and the end of the world.

Again, I will ask - Who is writing these questions? Did children have off from school today? Is today a holiday?

Definitely. Less of a chance for children to "forget" what they learn. They will still have the same amount of days off, just spread throughout the year.

Valentine's Day.  I hadn't been able to get ahold of him for several days and, in typical teen drama queen fashion, I had gone overboard: leaving songs on his answering machine, etc...  He called and asked me out to lunch for Valentine's Day.  Over lunch he asked me if I would ever consider marrying for money and revealed that he'd been incommunicado the last few days because he was busy running errands: getting a blood test, applying for a marriage license, etc...  He was in the Navy and was planning on marrying "a friend" so he could get an increase in pay.  He told me it didn't have to change things between us; I thought otherwise!

Yes I do.\nI believe it was eliminated to keep the kids at school so they could be taught the significance of the day and better appreciate it.\nBy eliminating the holiday, the Christmas break went to an automatic 2-week period. Before this the length of the break was dictated by how Christmas Day and New Years Day fell.\nI may be out-to-lunch, but I believe this to be the case.

School districts set their own calendars. You would have to ask the school board for the district that question. Here, usually the kids are out that day, but the teachers have to work.

No. The post office is a federal office so they have all federal holidays off as well as Sundays.

i think it depends on the college, but for mine it was- go to the colleges website and click on their academic calendar and that should tell you which days are holidays, etc.

I probably will not do much valentines day. Maybe exchange gifts with my friend. I will probably help with the children during our valentines banquet at church, so the adults can enjoy each other's company freely and I can enjoy playing games with them and letting them know how much God loves them.

i feel like valentine day is not fair. i have always had someone to share it with, but i always feel like the day is very depressing for those single people. you have a good point ---- to love everyone and not just your companion. i feel guilty when i have a valentine and some of my friends don't. they shoul make a singles day. haha

yes; it is up to the individual employer to give the day off; state and federal employees are the exception; they get the day off; everyone else is at the option of the employer; look at nurses and hospital staff ; all of them don't get the day off

I don't like Valentines Day, It usually reminds me of what I don't have.  Plus the people who really are in love it shouldn't matter to because wouldn't it be Valentines Day every day.
