I have spent 26 years raising children. I have always gone out of my way to make sure my kids don't miss any school. It's been hammered into our brains how every day/hour/minute of classroom instruction time is extremely important. Then they cave in to this and lose all credibility with me.

Suddenly, my Disney trip when the airline rates are low doesn't sound like such a bad idea after all.[/quote]

Oh please.   Your kids' schools never did a pep rally?  Fundraiser assembly?   Dance as a reward for good behavior?

Go ahead and take your Disney trip for Pete's sake.  Kids can spare 17 minutes for a lockdown drill, they can spare 17 minutes to raise awareness for the need for gun control.[/quote]

+1 These kids learned more about our system of government yesterday than they would sitting in any class for the same 17 minutes. [/quote]

Exactly what did they learn about "our system of government" by standing outside for 17 minutes?  Were they directly lobbying any lawmakers?  Nope.  That time would have been better served by writing letters to their local representatives.  These marches are simply about the optics.  Virtue signaling at its finest.[/quote]
