Aug. 25, 2008 - Just another Reason why we homeschool.
Clark Chatter brought this to my attention this morning:
From Foxnews:
SAN FRANCISCO — School officials in Palo Alto are reconsidering their use of a popular speaker for an annual career day after he advised middle school students that they could earn a good living as strip dancers.
William Fried told eighth-graders at Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School that stripping and exotic dancing could be lucrative career moves for girls, offering as much as $250,000 or more per year, depending on their bust size.
"It's sick, but it's true," Fried, president of Foster City's Precision Selling, a management consulting firm, told The Associated Press. "The truth of the matter is you can earn a tremendous amount of money as an exotic dancer, if that's your desire."
The school has asked Fried to give his 55-minute presentation, "The Secret of a Happy Life," for the past three years.

That is amazing. Someone needs to do their homework. The fact that a person would walk around promoting that type of work is horrible, but then to be someone who speaks at schools??
I scooted over here from mommaofmany.
