I hope to take the boy to see North’s Got Talent tonight. It’s this weird thing that used to be called a talent show. Teachers and students alike, on the stage, in front of a live audience.
That’s a huge step in the right direction for North. Before I got there–class of 2000, woot!–they used to have something called the Faculty Follies. I guess one teacher would write most of it and the faculty would perform skits and other numbers. Word has it that students, their parents, and faculty used to come see that, too.
Tonight’s show might be good, or it might be awful, but I hope students go because no publicity is bad publicity for something like this. Well, maybe I should wait and see before I make that claim.
Also, on a side note, while I was walking up to the office after school today, a student was running toward me without looking where she was going. I stopped walking; she smacked right into me. She laughed, as did her friends.
