Kiss-Ass 101

Here's the curriculum:

Smile at the teacher and say "Good morning" when you first enter the class room.

It may feel as though you are running a con. That's OK. It is a con. Keep running the con until you feel comfortable smiling at the teacher. Part of a teacher's job is to be there for you to learn how to smile without feeling uncomfortable or guilty—until the experience of con is gone. Remember, you are supposed to feel uncomfortable around most adults in authority. BTW: One cannot not con (as in—convince another to do what you want.) Communication mastery is to con others in a way that all concerned feel good.

Always say "Goodbye" or, "See-ya" or even, "Thanks" when the class is over.

Hand in your homework on time and neatly.

When you address your teacher always use the honorific Mr., Ms., or Mrs. For example: You: "Mr. Kenoi,  may I please use the ...?" Teacher: "Yes."  You: "Thank you." Note: It's rare for a student to be so polite and so you will immediately stand out as a student with supportive parents, a student with potential.

Always always reply with, "Yes Sir," or "No Mam."

For extra points ask: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

If you follow this curriculum you'll notice that at the end of the year your grade will be one grade higher than it would have been had you not taken Kiss-Ass 101.

Note: Most all military General's Aids become Generals and most all Congressional and Senatorial Interns become politicians. All start out "kissing ass." Eventually kissing ass turns into service. In serving one who serves, you discover who you are.
