[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a soft spot for the pledge, because it felt great to get to be the pledge leader for the day or the week. Nothing like the adrenaline of rushing to sharpen your pencil before the pledge started! The second best jobs were getting to take attendance sheets and lunch orders to the main office, or go to the main office to call the time and weather hotline so we could fill in the weather chart.

My child is at a highly regarded independent Catholic school and I feel sad for how they rush through their days yet seem to do nothing. I get pangs about the things they don’t have time for, that happen online, or that are done for them. [b]They don’t even sharpen their own pencils- [/b]frankly I can’t imagine them grasping the meaning of the Pledge.

Fwiw, justice for all left an impression on me and I am in law now.[/quote]

Who sharpens their pencils for them?![/quote]

They turn them in at the end of the day, teacher sharpens them, they take them out of a communal jar the next morning. Apparently there were too many pencil sharpening breaks and too much jostling at the sharpener. Not sure why they couldn’t just learn self-control, ownership and to sharpen their own d*mn pencils all at the same time, but that’s the least of my complaints so I ignore it. [/quote]
