A Parent:
The headmaster’s speech is inspiring! I am even more confident now that I have chosen the right school for my child. I know what is best for my child. I had it all planned out… First he would go to prep school, then to Harvard University to study medicine, before becoming a successful doctor. Life would be a bed of roses for him then. I am a little worried though… The students in this school are all crème de la crème. Will he survive in this elitist school? Should I send him to military camp to prepare him for university instead? Nah, he could handle it. He always came out tops in elementary school. However, I would not see him again until the end of the semester, after a whole season! I would miss him dearly. The house would be quite empty without him. Wait, did I bring all the necessities for him? Toothbrush… Check. Towel… Check. Clothes… Check…
Headmaster:
The ceremony went quite smoothly, especially when the flags that bear the four pillars of the school, “Tradition”, “Honour”, “Discipline” and “Excellence”, were carried into the hall. I have always followed these four pillars to run the school. The school uses traditional methods focusing on rote learning, where the students are expected to obediently receive the fixed answers. Students that did not learn quickly enough would be failed, and I personally encourage the use of corporal punishment to maintain discipline. Through ‘traditional’ teaching methods and strict ‘discipline’, I believe that the school can achieve ‘excellent’ results and maintain its ‘honourable’ position as one of the top prep schools in the nation. Oh… Better shake hands with the parents before they leave…
