[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/1209996--wellesley-school-grads-told-they-are-nothing-special-at-commencement?bn=1 [/quote] This graduation speech was deplorable. The students being addressed were celebrating an important milestone in their lives. They had spent 4 years waking up early, staying up late, to keep up in their very competitive world. The valedictorians worked their butts off to get those grades......most of them also involved in outside activities. Many (perhaps most) of students he was addressing are passionate about volunteering in there community and in other parts of the world. I think most parents realize their school system is not going to coddle their children. This graduation speech was more about an angry, burnt out middle age man than it was about the young people he was talking too. It was also offensive to the parents in the audience.[/quote]
