A culture is lost, as students all over the world no longer know what Vinyl is. I didn’t grow up with it myself, but I’m very well aware of what it was (essentially a bigger disk with better sound quality overall).
Even if they don’t know what vinyl is, these kids are some of the funniest kids I have yet to witness in my short teaching profession. Even their fatal flaws are redeemable in my eyes. I forced a 55 minute lesson into a 30 minute jam-packed lesson, and the kids complied (mostly). I made up a terrible cheer about Duke University and the kids still did it in my advisory. It was the following:
Leader: When I say Blue, you say Devils. BLUE
All: Devils!
Leader: Blue!
All: Devils!
Leader: When I say Devils, you say Duke, DEVILS!
All: Duke!
Leader: Devils!
All: Duke!
Leader: Who are we?!
All: Dukeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
And even though it was a 30-minute early dismissal schedule, due to the after school meetings and midterm preparations I didn’t actually leave school until 6 PM. It gave me some time to go back home for a nice evening run in the safe neighborhoods of USC!
So let’s put this in a perspective
In the day in which we live in
It’s all the same with all the kids no one knows what vinyl is
These days they burn the MP3’s
Onto their stacks of blank CD’s
And the records still stay in this world
It’s all the same with all the kids ’cause no one know what vinyl is
