Flag Day is tomorrow, and while many may remember staking miniature American flags into our yards as kids, as the years pass by, interest in celebrating the holiday has significantly diminished - “What Happened to Flag Day?”
According to a recent survey by leading digital homework help platform, Brainly:
>> 53.2% of middle and high school students do not currently discuss Flag Day in their schools, while over 35% were interested in learning more about the holiday
>> Over 30% of respondents were unable to identify that there are 50 stars on the current American Flag (representing the 50 states)
>> Only 45% of students identified the original American Flag design contained 13 stars to represent the 13 colonies
>> A staggering 16% of all respondents correctly marked that the red, white, and blue colors signified Valor, Purity, and Justice while over 59% (incorrectly) claimed it represented Freedom, Equality, and Justice for All
While Flag Day may not be taught as often as it used to, many students are still looking to learn about this upcoming holiday on June 14th. Digital platforms such as Brainly provide immediate access to peers, tutors, and text books to further nurture student’s interests in holidays such as Flag Day! The platform also provides student-prompted trivia questions such as “Why and how Flag Day was introduced? What was the first name for the flag? and Why was the name changed?”
