Sometimes, proving a point includes skipping breaks.

Read why one Redditor in Serbia bypasses an extra seven-day break by returning to school.

Let’s read the story below to find out more.

You know you’ve messed up when kids start going to school during their break just out of spite.

Currently, mass protests against corruption are taking place in Serbia.

And the cause is quite surprising.

A canopy at an illegal train station collapsed and killed 16 people.

Students have begun to voice their demands, seeking answers (I’m really shortening the story because if I start telling it fully, I won’t be able to stop).

Universities started blocking operations until their demands are met, and toward the end of December, high schools slowly began joining the movement (here, high schools are directly below universities, unlike in America).

It was a slow start, but then things ramped up.

At first, only a few high schools joined, and even then, mostly just third- or fourth-year students.

As December came to a close, our government came up with the “perfect” solution to prevent further blockades: they declared an emergency school break seven days before the regular winter break (without providing any reason), affecting both high schools and elementary schools — even though elementary schools weren’t participating in any blockades.

But these students weren’t buying it.

So, as high school students, we decided to go to school during the break out of spite, just to block it (a blockade basically means you hang out in school and do nothing).

And this Redditor’s revelation on the whole matter is thought-provoking.

Even though we weren’t doing anything, I never thought I’d willingly go to school during vacation just to prove a point.

Is this student missing out, or are they doing the right thing by skipping the extra break?

Let’s see what Redditors are saying in the comments below.

One Redditor questioned the logistics behind this “emergency break.”

Another congratulated Serbia on its fight.

And someone in Brussels encouraged them to keep going.

However, one reader wondered what an illegal bus station is.

This high school student has their priorities in line.

A seven-day break isn’t worth what they’d be giving up.
