For Kids, Keep the Romance Out of Valentine's Day
We all remember exchanging cards with our classmates at school on Valentine's Day. I grew up after the implementation of the "fairness rule:" if you give something to one, you must give it to all. And I think it's a good rule. It takes away the chance of one child being snubbed by the class; how many cards you got can't be made a popularity contest; and it helps teach children to be inclusive and sensitive to the feelings of others. Plus, a big benefit to me, it takes some of the romance out of Valentine's Day.
