Oh yes, I can't draw this out.

Dr. Hello Bonjour @hellobonjour.bsky.social · 29m

Really? Interesting idea. I will consider that.

Yes I was hoping to do that but we are not allowed. I was going to take a trip to the Dollar Store, but I seriously doubt I could find something there that would be considered interesting by a bunch of teens. Worth a try though.

It's kind of what I'm thinking also. I'll still give it my best shot just in case I reach one or two. Dreading the judgmental, bored looks of teens, LOL.

TY for the inspiration. I have added a list of statements related to entrepreneur characteristics at the end where kids will be asked to stand up if it applies to them. The more statements they stand up to might be an indication of their inner entrepreneur spirit!

I have a few easy questions spread throughout to give them a chance to talk. But I'll see how I can incorporate a get-up-and-move activity near the end. It's a very good idea. Thank you.

I was asked to present to a grade 9/10 business class what it means to be an entrepreneur & to share my journey. I have done similar guest presentations for universities, but this is my 1st time in a high school. It's the last class of the day on a Friday. 😩 Tips for keeping them interested? #EduSky

Remember when the Republicans were beside themselves with outrage because some Democrats noted how tall Baron Trump was for his age?

But what's happening in Chicago doesn't even register for them.

The hypocrisy is off the charts.

Judges and court personnel would fight back also.

Yeah, I tend to agree with you on that one. It's a shame.

How will the Trump regime punish him for this? Unfortunately, there will be payback for him at some point.

Pope Leo XIV strongly backs a free, independent and objective press.

Hear that Canadian mainstream media?

I would like to add that we need Canadian media to be Canadian owned. Otherwise, how else can we achieve free, independent and objective?

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”
