Akeelah and the Bee and word of the day - Pulchitrude

I watched "Akeelah and the Bee" and it is up there with some of the best movies I have watched. I wonder why nobody made a big fuss about this movie in Singapore. If I am a teacher, I would kick/drag all my students to watch the movie. This movie should be compulsory viewing for all primary schoolers, just like "Saving Private Ryan" is compulsory viewing for all NS men.

The last word that the little black girl had to spell to become co-champion of the Spelling Bee competition is 'Pulchitrude". The word means physical beauty. So you can say you are overwhemed with the pulchitrude on display at the Miss Universe Competition or compliment a woman that she has been blessed with pulchitrude.

Another Spam.

Yes, a good movie and it was screened in several schools too. Just that Media didn't make it to news. These days, media only tackle controversial issues like lousy Principal, lousy teachers, lousy school practice. Isn't that what general public like to read?
