Many people don´t know how to sing the National Anthem of their countries, if they know how to sing, most of them don´t understand what the words mean. Do you agree? Can you sing your country National Anthem?

I do know all of the words to our national anthem. We used to sing it in school every day and I believe that all schools should still require it to be sung each day. I do not feel that kids are being taught to respect the government at all.

During the military governament all the public school had to make the students sing the anthem everyday before classes started, here in Brazil. I experienced that. My children study in a private school and they do not sing it everyday.
