Everybody secretly wants their own bronze statue. So I thought, Why not? They’re seniors and probably want to give back something lasting and meaningful. I said, “You’ve all benefited from great leaders at this school–classroom revolutionaries, visionaries, pioneers. You also have a Metal Shop, Art Department and $30,000 raised by your Duck Derby fundraiser…” Then I winked, struck a pose, and waited for someone to make a suggestion. The class went silent. Nobody moved. Finally, Amber slapped her desk: “Lets buy Ipads for Art and Shop!” she said. “Then their work will mean something forever because it’s on the Internet!”
Monuments are so outdated. Instagram it is! Nicely done.

Who needs statues when you can be on the internet. LOL. Expiry dates for immortality have changed over the years. Great story.

I wonder what will happen to all the excellent writing on the Internet…. Not in bronze for sure.

So funny. ‘Why not?’ indeed. He doesn’t really think they’ve noticed his brilliance, dedication, self-sacrifice and determination to help them succeed – does he?
