Reality Shows Come to Life

Monday at the business meeting (think school assembly that I once heard described as a cult meeting by a student) we had part two of Dancing with Staff. Students have volunteered to be partnered with staff and show-off at the business meetings. During our next class, we vote for the best pairing and at the next business meeting, the pair with the least votes is disqualified.

Then after Dancing with the Staff, our own version of The Biggest Loser was announced. Students can volunteer to match-off with a staff member to lose weight. Weigh-ins are going to be done by Health and Wellness and the announcements are going to be by biggest percentage loss.

This seems a bit crude to adapt this reality show to life.

One More for the Statistics

I don't know if my father ever went back to work after the surgery and now my mother has been laid-off. Great.
