Celebrating Poetry at CCCS
In the last few days I have done 18 mock interviews for boys going for interviews to senior schools. It has been a most engaging process which I have much enjoyed. I have asked each of them if there is anything in the news recently that has interested them. Every single one of them has elected to talk about President Trump, Greenland and Venezuela. Clearly these are matters which are exercising the minds of CCCS boys, and indeed, all of the boys were able to say something interesting. The most striking comment about these issues occurred at lunchtime, however, when one of the boys announced that he had “solved the issue of Greenland!” I was, of course, all ears. “Donald Trump has promised that if he takes over Greenland, he will make all residents of the island US citizens. What I would do, if I were the Danish Government, is to offer citizenship to a very large number of refugees and then see what Donald Trump would do. ” We are always encouraging our pupils to think outside the box.
