Now I'm Worried

I attended a meeting in the local public high school today. Now I'm worried. The students were as dorky as you would expect high school students to be...but the administration supplied the unexpected "fear factor."

The school was like a war zone with noise and confusion everywhere. And at the end of the day, some adult got on the PA and actually sang juvenile Thanksgiving songs (yes, that's plural) to these young men and women trying to grow-up. It was awful!

One of the young ladies to whom I spoke is in the digital media program and wanted to know more about broadcast careers. She asked about websites, so I directed her to www.smooth-male-voiceover-talent.com as an example of how not to build and maintain a website. We spoke at length and, after she left the room, she returned to thank me for the time and the opportunity to meet with me. Manners will go a long way in a world, seemingly, without any.

If the administration cannot control what's happening in the building, and condescends to the students, what hope is there for our youth? Like I said, now I'm worried.
