Our District delayed the showing of the “Dear Leader” speech to school students (so that a plethora of teachers, administrators, etc., could review it.
When it was finally shown, parents could still opt out, but my 15 year old begged me not too (he didn’t want to have to leave the room). So he watched it (he is a HS sophmore).
During that school day, in appropriate history/law/govt classes, the students who viewed it were asked to write their thoughts (not for a grade as some students did opt out). Now remember this was midSeptember...
My smarta$$ son (who has his mom’s sense of humor) wrote “I really didn’t pay attention to the President’s video, but I know Beyonce’s was better.”
I was made aware of this (with a smirk and thumbs up from the teacher at his Open House Night).
Wow..now that is what I hope for my son when he is older..smart witty comebacks. (Actually I hope Obama is not in office after his soph. year)
