Valentine's are hopeful

Though manipulation can't be ruled out, a simple statement to a loved one today isn't such a bad tradition. As a kid I actually thought that February 14th was a pretty good excuse to express friendship, and as I got older, to express more than friendship. School was where my friends were, so for me Valentine's day and school are historically quite connected. Not a bad thing to have happen. Positive associations with school. A good trend.
