After all the hype and the controversy, the speech is underway. It is unfortunate that some will not be able to share in the enthusiasm of the moment. Just a few minutes in length, the message was simple and not at all political. Don’t let yourself down – life requires responsibility. Do some disagree? Do a few parents really think their opinion on instructional experiences should over rule common opinion and common sense? Shouldn’t they then make personal decisions for their own children?
When it was over, it was back to class. Where to go next? What period is it now?
