"Education? What is that and how am I interfering?"

Joseph Tucci, Brian Tokar. Nice guys, nice guys. But for the love of your jobs, Why?! Why do we have to interrupt our classes to commemorate and clap for the football team and the cross country state qualifiers? Are we not going to do this at the designated assemblies later in the year which also will interfere with our education? Good God men! You MUST realize that the people who are genuinely proud of this team and the school's athletic program (as I am) will congratulate them, go to see them play. Making the student and teacher body stand in the halls instead of learning or taking a test to clap for the football team or cross country state qualifiers is not genuine! It is similar to North Korea forcing it's citizens to weep for the death of their leader; it is fake, not real. The people who care will do something about it. Why make everybody join in and clap and praise this almighty team? "Well, it gives the school a good name!" Guess what would give the school a better name; a consistently good academic record, not an inconsistently adequate athletic record every few years. This is an insult to those of us who care and those of us who do not. Do the athletic "superiors" not receive enough credit in this school? How about state qualifying wrestlers? Holy Hell, we stopped class to watch the matches on the Promethean board! It's time to wake up and smell the rotting roses beneath your feet, because you are walking on a bridge of them, and time is short before it falls out from under you.
