a lack of school spirit?

what is a pep rally? i mean really, i just sat through one and the football game that came after that was so lacking i have no words to cover my thoughts on this.

where i student taught, they knew how to throw a pep rally, with actual pep and real rallying of the student body. what i watched was just a waste of about an hour of class time that we can't get back.

there is more i want to discuss on this topic, but at this point we are 90 minutes past my bed time, and i still have to go scrub the blue out of my hair.
