November the 17th is Student Day. The students get the day off. For some reason the students protest against things that are happening to the schools. We saw a really big one on one of the mornings we were in Rome. Well actually it was a bunch of protests but they banned together to make it larger. Many of the kids were protesting against the Italian goverment because they have been cutting funding to the schools. Both the university and the high school funds had been cut.
There was a lot of police officers. They helped move traffic so the kids could walk without getting hit. So there was a bit of a traffic jam because of that.
