A Speech Every American High School Principal Should Give

[GoldenRivet]

lost me at "I could not care less"



LOL... so you do care at least a little?

but seriously, my thought as an American is, as much as I wish such a speech would be made... i think it would only result in a great number of new School Principal job openings around the nation. Its THAT far gone down the rabbit hole already that i fear there is no recovery.

Hence the wish that every principal would make it. Then there wouldn't be anyone to fill those new openings.

Good speech.

Good speech.

agreed on the good speech

disagreed on the filling of vacancies.

most any given teacher at any school at any given time has his or her eyes cast on occupying that space behind the principal's desk.

not all mind you.

just most.

The overall point of meritocracy and E pluribus unum is certainly a good one.

Modern PC hold up a standard of "out of many, many." Bah, humbug!

My point wasn't to seriously consider the issue. My point was that if every principal and teacher felt that way there wouldn't be anyone left to feel otherwise.

Wishful thinking on my part, not a claim on the reality.

Actually, the way he said "I could not care less" is quite correct. Saying that he could not care less is equivalent to saying that there is no way he could care any less, therefore he does not care at all.

Sorry to correct you, but people saying "I could care less" is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Maybe this page can explain it better than I: The Grammar Vandal: I couldn't care less.
