My Son Is A Jerk Compared To These Kids Rapping About School

Guys, school is awesome, teachers are awesome, morning meetings are awesome, the principal is awesome, and that kid rapping in French is awesome.
Michelle Edwards is awesome. The principal at Orr Elementary said her students are changing perceptions about inner city schools. Orr is located in Ward 8, which has the nation’s highest unemployment rate. Despite the obstacle, the children and their teachers are proving that by staying in school, the cycle of poverty can be broken. The kids made the video with help from a local media company and funded entirely by community donations.Dear parents of child shown at the two-minute mark, that kid is all ready a heartbreaker, with his cute little glasses.
I wasn’t expecting the school ennui to start so early in the year, and I probably should have double-checked he had his lights out by nine instead of nine-thirty, but hey, it’s Friday, and before leaving for the bus this morning, my own kid stopped acting like a jerk and got excited about weekend plans and was sent off happy to start another day of school. Now if I could only get him to learn how to rap in French. Go Jaguars!
