Good Day

They will only change schedules if you need something to graduate, have failed THAT class for THAT teacher, or - nope, that's it.

Had a boy come to me today, wanting out of beginning basket weaving because "it's lame" - I explained that "it's lame" would never fly as a reason, so he started to sit down. Wait, I said - what do you want to take instead? Don't know - OK, what do you plan to do after graduation? Go into the military. OK, go tell them that this course won't help you pursue my dreams after graduation. And they might change the course. Keep an open mind - if they give you home ec - well, girls are in home ec and you will live someplace that you are responsible for.

They changed his course, he's happy, and he got home ec.
