SCHOOL FOR THOUGHT

Everybody is good at something

Congratulations to the University of Western Ontario for making it onto Playboy magazine’s list of the ten top party schools. Ranked fourth, Western is the only Canadian university to make the list. Quite a distinction. Well done!

So this honour (to my alma mater, BTW) has started me thinking about other top ten lists that Ontario elementary and secondary schools might be eligible for. For example, what about the school that showed the most movies in one year? Or had the most popcorn parties? The most hours lost to non-academic pursuits like assemblies, field days, parties, class trips, values courses, and so forth? 

I’m confident that a great many Ontario schools will be able to offer strong competition in these categories. Bring it on!
