School AssembliesOur school assemblies were often presided over by the local vicar, who once warned us of the dreadful dangers of mixing with "Rods and Mockers". One of the cool teachers laughed. Tell us about mad headteachers and assemblies gone wrong.

Mad for SkiingThe principal (American version of headmaster) of my elementary school was an avid skier. Growing up in the mountain west, this Wasn't uncommon. Several teachers shared his passion for sliding down steep hills with long sticks strapped to their feet. Every year we would have an assembly where this fellow brought his latest ski film and narrated it. The films were pretty awesome, but few of us kids were skiers. The assembly was more for the adults, made clear by their obvious enthusiasm for the event.
What we kids didn't really realize was how cool it really was to see pre-release, personally narrated versions of this guy's films:
