“HAPPY HAPPY SCHOOL” CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM
Those of you who have been following this blog understand what I describe as the modern “Happy Happy School”, where the only thing more important than a student’s test scores is the student’s happiness.
A Chicago suburban school district has banned costumes, parties, candy and any and all forms of Halloween celebrations in the schools. The school superintendent was quoted as saying, “Our staff and administration feel very strongly that we never want students to feel uncomfortable while in school, and this celebration makes many uncomfortable.”
And there you have it folks, if even one student is uncomfortable, the school has failed in its mission. Good bye
