January 6 - The Spring Musical

Episode Watched - Zack gambles Ms. Bliss's money on the stock market

Spring musical auditions are going on today and I have a bunch of students auditioning. I told them about the Snow White and Seven Dorks musical performance that they turned into some terrible attempt at a modern hip-hop performance.  The dorks were named: Dweeby, Nerdy, Geeky, Slimey, Shlumpy, Dumpy, and Norman (really? Norman? Come on). My hope is that my school and really any school doesn't try to over modernize anything. It also makes me think about how awkward it must be to have to kiss in high school performances, look what happened to Zack and Jessie. No bueno.

Lesson of the day: If it's classic, keep it classic. Huck Finn anyone?
