My younger son and I went to a high school orientation last night where the guidance counselor was going to talk about choosing classes at the HS level. It was very informative and I found out that Alvarado schools have some impressive offerings for classes, and their Ag program is wonderful.
Anyway, the principal was speaking at the start of the evening, packed auditorium, and tons of folks were texting, talking on their cells, phones were ringing... He finally had to ask that everyone turn off their phones.
What a shame that he had to ask! If people weren't interested in what was being said, they should have stayed home. And kids running around everywhere during the presentations. Kids that would be starting HS next year and really needed to be listening. Not to mention parents who just dropped their kids off and drove away... And little 13 year old girls dressed like street walkers...
Anyway, just had to vent, I guess. All these wonderful classes and useful information and people too ignorant to get off their dam cell phones to listen...
At least we got some good info and were able to go home and choose his classes for next year.
People! AARRRGGG!
