Thanks to Justin Karkow for point out this post of Christine Southard’s on the New York DEN Blog.

Just in time for the beginning of the school year, Dalton Sherman has a message that is sure to inspire anybody who has chosen to devote their lives to education.

  • Might be my Australian cynicism but this video came across as having way too much hype and evangelistic fervour to tell me what I already knew. I hope that my work doesn’t need this sort of thing to get inspired … sorry to be a wet blanket!

  • I agree with Graham. I’m not exactly wowed by this. I agree with Sylvia Martinez (http://blog.genyes.com/index.php/2008/09/03/believe-in/) that it is not as impressive when you realize that the words were written by adults and just delivered by a well rehearsed elementary kid. Granted, he has a stage presence and that is cool, but what would the words be if written by real kids? That would be what I want to hear.
