Reply #3: The free market mantra recited daily.

[madfloridian]

"In Lindsay Zika's eighth-grade classroom, the day begins precisely at 8:30 a.m., when, without prompting, her students recite the American Indian credo:

"The Family," they chant. "We are a family at AIPHS."

"The Goal: We are always working for academic and social excellence.

"The Faith: We will prosper by focusing and working toward our goals.

"The Journey: We will go forward, continue working, and remember we will always be part of the AIPHS family."

With barely a pause, they shift to the school's mission statement, which is twice as long and includes the promise that American Indian will develop students to be "productive members in a free market capitalist society."

Another day begins."
