It's a total BS holiday. Money grab. As they all are. They designate a day for you to express your love for someone? How about deciding as an individual when to do that? It's just herding sheep so they can take as much of their money as possible.
According to new data from Bankrate, the average cost of Valentine's Day can end up totaling $512.02, once the roses, chocolates, dinners, jewelry, and bottles of champagne are added up. This is How Much Valentine

That is sad that we have become so brainwashed that we have to "prove" our love to someone on a made up holiday.
To the OP. I think the teachers feel they are doing a "sweet" thing by having kids hand out cards. Sadly this falls into our materialism and it doesn't get better as we get older.
I completely agree, but it has been done for decades; we gave valentines to our friends at school 70 years ago. As for a special dinner for your sweetheart with a bottle of wine, candy etc. that is just a money maker for the merchants. We did go out for dinner one year, the prices were jacked up, the service awful and the food wasn't even good. That was the last time we did anything more than say " I love you sweetheart" Well hubby did used to get the kids and me Sees candy. I am glad our kids are grown. Oh, one more thing, even worse than the card exchange at school is the policy "you have to give a card to each child" What is so special about that? Now, I will add; I don't think it is anything to get too upset about: the cost of the cards are really not that much.

That is a personal choice to spend that much money, though. I don't know many people who spend all that.
