today, when we stood to say the pledge in my class, i asked my students why we had a holiday on monday. one of my students excitedly raised her hand. since she was an 'excel' student last year i expected the correct answer...
"yesterday was veterinarian's day!" she exclaimed.
while no one in the class even cracked a smile, i stifled my giggle long enough to explain that it was veteran's day--a day where we honor the service of our men and women in uniform who fight to protect our constitution and our freedoms.
later on i realized that this student might have been trying to be funny. last year her class may have laughed at her "mistake," but this year, i don't think anyone in my class knew what she was talking about!
