My son went to school today in his Gordon kilt !

As a high school teacher, please pass along my kudos to your son for being man enough to be hiw own man.

It's getting late in the day, but I'd encourage you to wear a different tartan to the conference. This will probably lead to a discussion of different tartans, and that will lead to either you or him or both of you giving a presentation on tartans, which will lead into Scottish history, which will lead into Burns and Scott, and by then you've presented in art, history/social studies, and English/language arts classes, and then another school will hear about you and want you to come speak to their kids. Trust me, I've done it before, and that's how it happens.

Keep us posted on how it goes this afternoon.

And then you bring piperdbh into music class as a guest speaker...

All the way to Iowa might be a little far for me, Phogfan. That's closer to your territory.
I really like working with other people's students. They're much more receptive than my own!
