MSA Preparation

This message was displayed on every TV Monday to prepare students for the MSA.

The first thing was get a good night's sleep blah blah blah, but then came the real treat: "Solve all family/friend problems before coming into school tomorrow."

Now the part of me that still has faith in humanity believes, 99%, that what they meant to say was "Don't come in tomorrow worried about and/or distracted by family/friend problems," since we did have a lot of nutty behavior/fights/etc. last week, but apparently that was too circumspect. Maybe it didn't have the finality that just solving the problems would have, the assurance that these problems wouldn't mysteriously resurface over the 2.5 hr testing block, or maybe even that our school is that committed to improving the lives of our students (through edict if need be). Whatever the reason, all I know is that no matter how we do on the MSAs, at least our student body is free of the interpersonal problems that once plagued their lives.
