On Wednesday (12/10/97) I'll be standing before 200 (American) ninth
graders talking with them about "Work Ethic". I was asked to do this by a
high school counselor who is addressing concerns of local businesses that
their teen employees don't have whatever "work ethic" is. Basically, I
think the complaints center around consistent attendance, attitude, sense
of responsibility, being there on time, appropriate garb, & etc. I have
no idea, yet, what I will say to these young people, so here is your
opportunity to help me shape the future of America's youth...or just give
me a couple of good outline points. [Perhaps if my own sense of work
ethic were stronger, I would have already written my speech.]
