С днём знаний!

Today is the traditional Russian holiday День Знаний, the Day of Knowledge, which means that little kids come to school with bouquets of flowers for their schoolteachers, and a band plays in front of the school, and bus fare is free (or maybe they just don't care enough to check your pass). School has never been this big a deal in the United States!
