[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Showed it to my 6th grade middle schooler this morning. She thought it was "cringe" and said the lyrics were really bad. I appreciate that he's willing to show his "fun" side though. I just don't know if this exact schtick is the right way to do that. We'll see.[/quote]

To be fair, 6th graders think absolutely everything is "cringe." But she's not wrong.

Honestly, even if it is "cringe," I think this is a good thing. One of my complaints about Dr. McKnight was that she never spoke like a human being. Every public statement, whether it was about something trivial or something critically important, felt like it had been generated by a focus group and then fed through an edu-speak AI generator.

Maybe Taylor is different, and maybe we will get better communication from someone who is willing to be "cringe" sometimes. [/quote]

He’s all show, no substance.   [/quote]

Meh, McKnight had neither show or substance, so we've already got improvement. My kid is at Einstein where the Superintendent started the day. There was a lot of genuine excitement. I liked the video.[/quote]

And, I was super pissed they put the kids on the news without asking parental permission.[/quote]

Huh? News outlets cover the first day of school every year. How on earth could the school seek parental permission when that is both routine, and no one can predict what kids cameras will capture either at Einstein or anywhere in the county? [/quote]

Didn't watch video. Did reporter talk to students? Before they do, they are supposed to ask student if they received permission from parent/guardian to speak to that reporter.[/quote]

I saw two local news segments from Einstein this morning, and they didn't interview students, just the BOE president and the principal.[/quote]
