From what I can gather you're retired now, but when you were still working I'm guessing you were overworked.
How do I deduce this? You seem to be jealous of people who aren't dying through employment.

Police have arrested a Toronto man for allegedly vandalizing the Old City Hall cenotaph with spray paint hours after it was the site of a downtown Remembrance Day ceremony.

Absolutely - every month should have 1 stat holiday minimum. Something right in the second or third week of November would bridge the long gap between Thanksgiving and Christmas very nicely. It doesn't necessarily have to be Remembrance Day, if there are so many here who cynically assume that people wouldn't use it to reflect on our veterans sacrifices.

In other news:
I am of two minds about this. Maybe the school should invite the CAF member to join the ceremonies at 11 with regular students - and allow students with special needs to go on their usual recess schedule. It shouldn't be an "either-or".
From what's been reported elsewhere, he seem to have some "issues". No big surprise there.

I was a little surprised by that actually - desecrating war memorials usually isn't "their thing".
From CP24:
Cenotaph vandalism suspect says he did it to protest Don Cherry’s firing
A 33-year-old man facing charges after allegedly defacing the cenotaph at Old City Hall earlier this week was released on bail Friday, after the Crown expressed concerns about his mental state and a judge ordered he undergo counselling.

It seems those pesky "logistical challenges" have been solved by many other schools - they should chat.

Even in other schools in their own board. But honestly it is hard to say much without further without additional info - presumably there are reasons as to why it is an issue at this and only this school.
