Do you feel that you are living in an episode of “The Twilight Zone”?
In a time of despair, we need to laugh. We need to be inspired. Art, love, laughter, joy will save our sanity.
Here is some sunshine. Enjoy!
Here is the back story. It was truly a surprise for the students and teachers. The school leaders were in on the secret.

Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful.
The real teaching staff had not been told what was happening and were as surprised as everybody else when the first singer burst into song.
TARRRGO!
😎
Funny and the expressions on the kids’ faces are priceless. This will either turn kids onto opera or turn them off, depending on their degree of shock. It happened at a Church of England Combined School, a beautiful school and the lunch gets 5 stars.
Thank you Dr. Ravitch for this meaningful clip.
I cannot wait to see children participate in singing with exhilaration. Then, there is joy bursting towards the end. How marvelous and lovely to see their participation in screaming! I love it.
What a contrast feeling FEAR to see police (= punishment) from students and kitchen staff versus feeling JOY to have kitchen staff sings and sprinkles cheese on students’ meals!
People, who are having a brain-washed like a robot without feeling, will suffer their loss of true love and care without acknowledgement of sufferance. How sorrowful it is! Back2basic
A breath of fresh air. Bravo!!!
I’ve seen this before, but I still love it, and I appreciate it! Such a joy!
(And did everyone notice that the lunches were prepared on-site from fresh ingredients and served on real plates? As opposed to pre-packaged lunches prepared elsewhere and served on plastic trays or in Styrofoam containers.)
Beautiful experience! Thank you for posting!
Art, the essential difference!
Sent it to my granddaughter in Texas.
Thanks for the relief
