Knowing You Did a Pretty Solid Job with Kids Because They Are Appalled at You

In the last day or two of school, as we had our various celebrations and reflections on the year, I showed a clip from the Fred 3 movie.  My boys like the movies and I can see the appeal through their eyes.  The kids in my class, however, were appalled at the sentiment of the song - "The Last Day of School is the Best Day of School."  A few sang along, a few joked about the message, but most were outwardly repulsed by the song's lyrics.
