I thought the political commentary was starting to sound a little trite, like the e-mails that are in circulation, which are funny, don't get me wrong...that's why I forwards them between different sides of the family just so I can see all the funny ones going around. (sad to say, I'll be teaching my kids Grammer soon).

I couldn't read the original article. I clicked on it a few times the last couple of days and it just said error 404, page not found. On topic itself, it lends itself to the support of redshirting. Lead by example would be getting your work done and advancing so that your work is at your equevelant level. Let their success be our inspiration (some FFA slogan). It seems like this "leadership" idea could be turned around to mean "cultivating a big fish in a little pond". (redshirting). The best case scenario, according to popular opinion, would be engaged students working hard together developing a sort of positive peer pressure. Those dynamics lend themselves to showing off a kind of group dynamic that they can use as a template to know what leadership is in future situations.

I'm going to blame the awkward wording of this post on the sick, teething baby that didn't let me sleep last night. Is mommy-brain a real thing?
