Avalon Academy, of which I work, has loads of great ideas. They always work. They are marvelous and should be shouted from mountain tops. The top educators around the world should take notice, fall to their knees, and collectively shout, “Hail Avalon, king of the schools!”
OR NOT!
The newest plan to accomplish “school unity” is to gather up the kids 24 times within the next three weeks and have all of them, every single grade 2nd-6th, come together in the lobby and learn to sing in unison the song “I Have a Dream” by Abba.
As if the nightmare of trying to control a crowd of hundreds of Elementary students is not enough, all of whom are embarrassed even to answer a question in class, and trying to get them to sing in front of each other in unity a song is the song itself.
Don’t get me wrong, Abba has some catchy tunes, such as “Dancing Queen,” but their song “I Have a Dream” is putrid. Just plain terrible.
See and listen for yourself:
