A, an eighth grade student featured elsewhere on this blog, is part of a (in my opinion) well intentioned school ambassadors program. A curious and perhaps cynical colleague of mine wanted to further understand the educational validity of such a program:

Mr. J: "I'm just asking A, what's an ambassador?"
A: "It's when we get out of class to go to meetings and then we..."
Mr. J: "No, no...in real life. For example, what does a Goodwill Ambassador do?"
A (after a long and thoughtful pause): "They are like the substitute president. Of the world."
