besides the usual antics and questions, two things caught my attention today.
1. the repeated question – “who’s wearing ACS socks?”
2. henry liu’s address,or statement rather, to the student council nominees
delving into the first question as posed by the year 5, can such a question actually gauge a person’s integrity or character in that one instance? it seemed trivial, it spurred my thoughts on whether we select the council on their ability to speak, their misplaced arrogance, or a mere farce of a “popularity contest”.
my guess being half those people on stage with less than a proper heart running for council will get through. no prizes for guessing!.
to prove my point, ask yourself this question:
so what did we learn of the council nominees of the 4th council at the forums today?
perhaps that they can’t sing the school anthem, or think they’ve already got one foot through the door, and the many empty promises, aliens amongst us who bleed red, blue, gold, cheesy taglines, and at the end of it all?
i dare say we learnt nothing.
