Life is good

Today was testing day at my school. Each grade takes some type of predictor test. We stay in class for several hours. Luckily I have my best class then. The Principal came over the loud speaker to let us know we would not be saying the Pledge of Allegiance because of time constraints. I said to my students, "It feels funny not to say the Pledge." One of my students stood up and said, "Let's do it anyway." All the rest of the students stood up very quickly and said it pretty much in unison.
Made me proud....

Life ain't so good if you're an Ohio State fan today!

It takes approximately 00:00:16:74 (a little less than 17 seconds) to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. I think, unless, God forbid, a nuclear bomb was about to explode and you had to usher your class into the fallout shelter beneath the school, there is always time to say the Pledge.
