Opening Attention Grabber

Don't forget you need an opener that grabs people's attention as you write your opening speeches. For the negative, I think it's best to focus on the fact that No Child Left Behind has been pushing kids to learn more, achieve more, work, work, work . . . And now you're saying, ah . . . nevermind . . . that's too expensive . . . You only need school 4 days a week?

What is the message we are sending to kids? Are they supposed to work harder and harder or are they supposed to have a three day weekend???

Good point, Ms. Vaughn! Thanks for the idea. I think I will use that. Can/should I quote you?
