writing an essay would be a) a better reminder of what country we belong to, b) would get kids to learn more about the country (when such knowledge is at an all-time low) and c) would help them improve their overall learning skills.

standing up and reciting a pledge every day, hand over heart, hats off, is a mindless ritual with little benefit. (and in fact, it was a marketing gimmick to begin with.)
