School -free December 23: Petition of a twelve -year -old ensures rethink!

New York, USA - New York (dpa) - In a surprising turn, the city of New York preferred the Christmas holidays for its students! Mayor Eric Adams announced that public schools will now remain closed on December 23 - a day that was originally supposed to be a regular school day. A brave step that goes back to the initiative of a 12-year-old student!

The young Isaac Regnier had started an online petition that found thousands of supporters at the windows. In his urgent call, he argued that it “made no sense” to maintain school that day. "The presence rate will be very low that day," he wrote. Many children would have travel plans that they would have to change or would simply be missing at school. The result? Frustrated students and teachers who would not learn anything!

a personal call from the mayor

The proposal from Isaac quickly heard to Mayor Adams, who not only called the student, but also announced the change in the holiday plan together with him at a press conference. "Great idea, Isaac!", Adams praised X. Instead of December 23, an additional school day will be introduced at the end of the school year. A clear proof that the voice of the youth is heard!
