middle schoolers

I spend every Monday morning observing 2 Spanish classes at Carnage Middle School in Raleigh. This past week, after saying the Pledge of Allegiance, one boy asked his classmate:

"If Obama wins the election, will we start saying '...and to the Democrat for which it stands...'?"

His classmate then responded:

"Duh, it always changes when we get a new president."


I have thus added a new reason to become a teacher: Correct all Pledge of Allegiance misconceptions.

Bahahaha, that is wonderful! And yet, entirely awful at the same time.
