'Inflight' orientation made me airsick After everyone was seated and we were given a brief word of introduction, we all knew who the first speakers would be: the head honchos, the ones in charge. You guessed it, folks: The BEHS cheerleaders! They danced around a bit, hoisted each other into the air, and chanted their cheers. Rah, rah, rah! Rah rah rah! Go BEHS, etc. Actually, I'd guess it was the least repetitive part of the orientation. Then of course came the basic speakers: principal, assistant principals, head of such-and-such, and superintendent so-and-so. The same basic speeches, too. We've all heard them before, many times. I guess that's why they put their heads together over summer and added a creative spin. Now we're not at an orientation. We're on a plane, listening to pre-flight instructions! So where's my barf bag? |
