I told my first Principal, years ago before she retired: “Thank you for giving me a job”. She said: “I didn’t give you a job; you earned your job.” I shall never forget that.
Tomorrow Obama is apparently giving an annual "address to students" (see here Heads Up! Obama will speak to students in his annual propagandize the children speech on 9/28/11)
Is your school participating in this?
If so, could you post a follow up with your observations on how the students received the speech?
