[quote=Anonymous]I would have been proud to go to a High School named after "The Big Train" (Walter Johnson). Thomas Sprigg Wootton, not so much. But I agree with the OP, if some kid sees that name every school day, the barest glimmer of curiosity should flicker at least once... Don't the school entrances have little plaques or photos on the wall in dedication ? "I make it a habit to ask each student who their school is named after and what the person did in life. There is one school where less than 1% were able to tell me. " I hope you tell the kids that don't know - just for fun. It could be 15 seconds of "huh - I didn't know that". I bet some of them might even ask their clueless friends later, to see if they knew... [/quote]
