What is Valentines Day? To most it is a day to give someone something sweet because you: like them, are friends with them, or are in a relationship. It is a way to show that you care/have affection for them. But in elementary school it is a useless holiday. Don't get me wrong I love Valentines day I think its a great idea but the meaning of it is gone when it is celebrated in elementary school. In elementary school everybody gets one from everyone and you have to. You can give one to everybody or no one. What if you want to give one to someone special? What if there is someone you don't necessarily like? If you don't know someone's name for a valentine you obviously don't care about them enough to at least find out their name in advance. I know it sounds like I am making a big deal but I respect Valentines Day and I like it a lot. So when i see the meaning of it go to waste I get a little ranty. Now the meaning of valentines day is:get candy!get candy!GET CANDY!. I mean it is like the second biggest candy collection day for young peoples. My solution is no valentines day party but let kids give 'em out after class.
