Open letter to my year 9 class

Recently, my school closed down. This was upsetting to everyone concerned, most of all to my students. I gave a little speech to my year 9 homegroup - kids that I had looked after for 2 1/2 years and was looking forward to seeing them graduate in 3 1/2 more - and this is how it went.

Hi guys, I’m sorry it had to end this way, but none of us here had any say in the matter. The one thing that we do have control of is how we deal with things. No matter what you are feeling, it’s right. Cry if you have too. I have. Just don’t ever give up. Make this the moment in your life when you realise that life isn’t fair, we don’t get what we want sometimes, but how we deal with things is how we live our life.

Remember Mowbray’s motto: We learn and we grow. Think about that. Learn from your and others mistakes. Grow from them. Don’t be afraid to fail or make mistakes. Be afraid not to try. Don’t try to be the best. Be the best that you can. If you don’t succeed, try again or learn what you did wrong.

Don’t be afraid to learn new things. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is sexy. Long after you’ve grown old, grey and ugly, (like me) your brain and what you know is what people will find attractive.

Now here are a few things that I wanted to say to you when you got older, but I guess I won’t get that chance.

Girls don’t try and be stupid for a boy. Boys actually like smart girls and you’ll get better, kinder more loyal boys that way. If a boy only likes you for what you look like, they’ll leave you for someone better looking when you get old.

Boys go up and talk to girls, they like that. Make them feel special and unique and wonderful. Ask them about them selves and what they like. Listen to them and look them in their eyes when you talk to them.

The worst thing in life is regrets for something that you were too scared to do. I’ve made mistakes – lots of them and the biggest regrets that I have are the things that I never did. Go up to that person that you like and talk to them, ask them out. What’s the worst that can happen? They might say no or say something horrible. If they’re rude or horrible to you at least you’ve learnt that they weren’t worth it. I can’t imagine anything worse than lying down and dying and saying “I wish I had do this or that” Just go out and do. It’ll probably turn out better than expected.

There’s always going to be someone who wants to put you down, tell you that you can’t do something because you’re stupid, worthless or a worst of all because girls can’t do that. You can do anything you want. You have the potential to be anything that you want to be. The only thing that can stop you is not trying and giving up because it’s too hard or you don’t think that you’re good enough.

Be faithful to whoever you’re with. Don’t cheat on somebody. It’s the worst thing that you could ever do. And no one deserves it.

Keep learning. Don’t ever stop learning. Read books, watch films and TV from other countries. I know you might not like subtitles, but other cultures are interesting and you can understand people better if you know what they believe in or like.

Stop listening to top 40 music. It’s horrible. It always has been from before you were born until you die. Pop music is the lowest form of culture. Don’t listen to music because it’s popular’ listen to it because it’s good. There is so much music out there and it’s fun to find it. Go see as many live bands as possible. Find out about old music. Remember the bands that you like listened to old music before they recorded their songs. Nothing in music is new; it all goes back to some caveman banging rocks together.

Go overseas. Travel as much as you can. It’s a big, wide world and no one that’s ever existed has ever seen it all. You learn more about yourself than you can ever imagine when you have to buy food in a place where no one understands a word your saying.

Don’t judge people on what they look like, what they wear, whether their straight or gay, Christian or Muslim or ugly or attractive. Judge them on what they say or do. The tone of someone’s skin or their accent or their boyfriend never made anyone a better person. It’s their personality and their actions. Good people do good things. Arseholes are just arseholes, no matter where they were born.

Don’t be stupid. Don’t get into fights – especially with drunk people. Apologise even if you’re right and walk away. It’s better to do that then get yourself beaten up by some drunken idiot.

Think before you act. What are the consequences of your actions? Who’s going to get hurt? Why would you say that? What would Nigel do?

Dance. Dance and laugh and have fun. Dance like no one’s watching. Laugh like no one cares. Live like your grandmother is in the room.

Be strong. Never give up. Never give in. Don’t do something that you know is wrong just because somebody told you. Do something because it’s the right thing to do.

Think for yourselves. Act for others. Smile at strangers. Help lost tourists with maps. Help people with luggage get off trams. Let people out before you push in. Stand on the left of escalators, walk on the right. Join the queue and don’t push in. Be kind and polite. People remember that and will help you. No one likes a bastard.

Above all just be yourself. You are beautiful and amazing. I know I’ve seen it.

Thank you for putting up with me. I know I’m moody and forgetful and yell at you for no reason sometimes. But I love you all and I’m grateful for every single day that I had with you.

Look me up when you’re 18. We’ll go get a beer together.

Student suspended indefinitely for "Billie Jean" dance

By Amy Pearson | amy.pearson@winonadailynews.com | Posted: Saturday, February 4, 2012 12:00

A 9-year-old boy at St. Stanislaus was immediately and indefinitely suspended Thursday night at a school lip-sync fundraiser after mimicking Michael Jackson’s famous groin grab during a rendition of “Billie Jean.”

Mindy Boberg said St. Stan’s principal Pat Bowlin approached her and her son, Lenny, during the event and told her the performance — specifically the handful of times Lenny reached for his groin area to imitate Jackson’s notorious dance move — constituted gross misconduct and that Lenny was suspended.

Bowlin declined to comment Friday, saying the situation was an internal issue.

He said he plans to meet with the Boberg family Monday morning to discuss the suspension.

Boberg said Lenny has performed similar Michael Jackson routines the past two years without incident at the St. Stan’s event, and that the Winona Area Catholic Schools’ Parent-Teacher-Partnership approved all event performances during a Tuesday rehearsal.

Boberg said she is upset with how Bowlin handled the situation and doesn’t understand why her son was singled out, particularly because some students at the fundraiser performed acts wearing boxer underwear and others shook their “tail feathers.”

At about 10:30 p.m. Thursday, Bowlin sent an email to all WACS faculty, staff and families titled “Thank you/ apology.” It read:

“On behalf of the Winona Area Catholic Schools, I would like to thank all the students, teachers, parents, and friends of our school for your support of our Lip Sync contest. So many people worked incredibly hard to make it a great event. We did have one act that was clearly inappropriate. I want to extend my apology for that situation.”

The WACS student/parent handbook states that a school principal may immediately suspend a student for gross misconduct. It defines gross misconduct as an action that “creates a substantial and unjustifiable risk of harm to another person or serious damage to the property of the school or another person, or conduct which substantially impairs the discipline and order of the school environment.”
