Family day = STUPID

They just take a day from our end of the school year and replace it. So basically, we end up with an extra school day at the end of the school year where our summer is 1 day short.

Hey little boy, most of us aren't in school so we're going to love having a day off from WORK. Hope the shock isn't too much when you become an adult and summer vacation becomes a distant memory.

+1 for the stupidness of this holiday
Feb.18 is when our Reading Week starts at U of T. Time when we have to study for a midterms. Makes no difference for us.

Some students can't seem to get around the fact that the working population gets a day off from work. It's really the only holiday between New Year's and Easter.

Reminds me of JFK's quote: "ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." People are really too self-centered these days.

It's been legit since 1990.

Too many people getting divorced today for illegimate reasons so I don't see it working. In the 60s/70s you could cheat/abuse your spouse (note: i do not condone such activities) and the family would stay together for the kids sake. Today anything can lead to divorce. People get divorced over such small matters these days its unbelievable.

Several hundred thousand Federal Government employees do not get that day off.
