[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 191898, member: 10"] Hi, This year, the Dallas, Texas school district hosted the usual meeting for teachers to kick off the school year. The unconventional choice for convocation speaker was Dalton Sherman, a 5th grade student in the district. His speech, I Believe in Me, Do You? was given to the 17,500 teachers in attendance. It was a huge hit, won him a standing ovation and national acclaim. This video is making the rounds of education blogs (some a little over the top breathless) and being played in lots of opening day staff meetings. In the speech, Dalton asks Dallas teachers to believe in him and all students, what we need from you is to believe that we can reach our highest potential. He asks that the teachers believe in their colleagues too, trust them and lean on them when times get tough and we all know, we kids can sometimes make it tough.
