Presidents' Day

Kind of funny. A day off or a week off and few know why.

It's President's Day tomorrow. 

Originally it was Washington's Birthday.

Remember him? 

Remember your history?

Then Lincoln got tied in because his birthday is also in February.

Remember him?

Remember your history?

So, sort of accidentally this holiday was born, and it isn't  a bad thing.

Sad thing is, most kids nowadays know zilch about either.

History being taught in elementary schools is an afterthought with the Common Core Curriculum.

I know, because I'm there. 

On Friday, no one in the school said anything about either President as we got ready to take the week off.

I daresay my younger colleagues have no idea why we have this " President's Week"

That should scare you. 

History is being erased.  Thank you Arne Duncan and Andrew Cuomo.

That said there is no excuse for ignorance.

We can do better.
