the people of my generation konws how to use rights!

I don't know what else I can say.  This is interesting and amazing to me, I don't know how American students would react if their vacation was shortened but I am almost positive they wouldn't do this.  Their parents might.  But interesting to think that the 15 and 16 year olds I teach are using their rights in a way that never would have dawned on me at that age.
