Ok, as some of you know I am a school teacher. I am the head of a year group and as part of my job I am required to do assemblies. I hated them as a kid and I hate them even more now I have to do them. Generally they last 10 minutes. 5 minutes of this is normally giving out messages but the remaining five minutes is supposed to be filled with something other than mindless drivel. I reckon on a short story or article with a moral in it. A bit like the thought for the day. The final prayer is not a problem since I have found a prayer book.
So, can any of you old giffers remember school. Can you remember any assemblies that you had to attend that you thought were amusing /interesting. Alternatively do you know of any stories with morals. If so, please enlighten me.
Go on, there must be some parents out there with stories. Some of you must have morals. Help me out guys.

Oh and before you ask. Yes it is the fastest in the car park. Except for the motorbike but that doesn't count.

Tell them how evil Corsas, Fiestas, Novas etc are and that if they get a 200 they'll go to heaven.
Oh yeah and say no to drugs ;-)
Sorry best I could do.

What about
"have any of you seen the film "pay it forward" ?
About the teacher who gives out an interesting project to his pupils. He tells his pupils they each have the power to change the world and each pupil is to think of an idea to change the world. One kid`s idea is to do something exceptionally nice for 3 strangers and all the 3 strangers have to do in return is pay it forward to another 3 strangers etc etc.
Therefore spreading a lot of compassion in the world instead of the cold unfriendliness that we see all too often in this world.
For an example this kid helps out some crackhead in a small way , the crackhead in A+E hands over his place in the cue to a sick girl and her businessman father. The father then weeks later sees a guy who`s cars just been wrecked and he walks up and gives the guy the keys to his BMW and says "it`s yours , just pay it forward" You could link it somehow to the terrorist and war troubles in that it is a concept that could have people thinking about helping each other and making friends instead of fighting.
Then pass round the weed http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif and tell them about the crime that is "hogging the joint"
Sorry Pete, I went to Stockport Grammar School, so unless you want to know how assemblies went in the middle ages, I'm no use at all.
And I suffer from moral relativism.....
My favourite assemblies were the ones I missed!
If you talk about sex in some context or other, then at least the pupils will be more uncomfortable than you!
Or how about, "The inherent discombobulation of oratorial sesquipedalianism within the pre-tutelar assemblage domain."
It'll take at least 5 minutes to explain....

Hey everyone Billy`s losing his marbles here. And his lips are tied in a knot. Lets all stand around and laugh and point at him. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif
Debating and Literary Society rule 337a strictly forbids pointing and laughing at the same time, so stop it or I'll tell Sir......

So we can point OR laugh ..... just not both at the same time ?
ok
ha ha ha ha ha
Oh well, I suppose being laughed at still leaves room for delusion, unlike being pointed at......
*point, point*

There - I didn't do both at the same time.
You could always talk about drifting around a wet roundabout looking at the road ahead through a side-window. The moral could be that if you buy something crap with 4WD you won't be able to do that as easily. Sounds good to me anyway http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif

I used to love assemblys when the head teacher used to get carried away singing music, which was being banged out by some other teacher on the piano..
..One time I remember he got sooo carried away, he climbed on top of the 'suprisingly small and high' piano.. and danced..
..DANCE MONKEY BOY DANCE... http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif
Just a thought.. I must agree, never had an interesting on other than that..
Al though talking about sex would be funny.. Like in American Pie.. *cringe cringe* http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif
Oh, I know I cant spell.. thats why I'm in IT.

THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM
> Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guestroom. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem."
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was
infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen?
The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.
"Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied. "When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it."
"Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem."
Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust
that every outcome is always to your advantage. You might not know it until some time later...
Some people come into our lives and quickly go...
Some people become friends and stay awhile...leaving beautiful footprints on our
hearts... and we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend!!
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!
I think this life is special...live and savour every moment...
This life is not a dress rehearsal!

The moral of that story is...
If two poncin' angels come to yer door, lookin' for a place to put their heads down.... Tell 'em to shove off, or they'll end up taking all yer gold and killin' yer pets!! http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif
