At our Principals' meeting this morning the high school principals were talking about the great weather and the chance of snow in April. As you might guess that got to talking about our great school year and our great kids. One of the high schools was speculating when seniors' thoughts might turn to the great outdoors and a day off. All of us agreed that we have heard about some of those suburbs schools but our darlings would never do such a thing. Naturally that turned to how supportive our parents are and we all were very grateful that our city parents were just too wise to fall for that silliness. Absences are unexcused unless a parent wishes to inform the school that son or daughter is sick or something. We knew that our parents have ethics and would not permit their daughter or son to pull a fast one. Actions have reactions and consequences. That is an important learning experience. Let a kid get away with something like that and then she/he is loose talking and before you know it they are at the pool hall and pool stands for trouble and we never want that in river city.
The meeting was exciting and very educational. As Minneapolis City High School Principals, we were just plain proud of our great kids and families taking responsibility and sticking to the tasks at hand.

I'm talking about "Trouble" with a capital "T" and that rhymes with "P" and that stands for "Pool". :)
