Concert of One

Unless you have multiple personalities, you can't get together with yourself to produce a "concerted effort," as this high school president seems to think.

By definition, a concerted effort is one performed together in cooperation with others. Contrary to popular belief, it does not mean "large" or "dedicated" or "determined." Especially if you are in the position to teach our children, please think twice before calling any of your own efforts "concerted."

I'm more offended by the "very truly yours" that she signs off with. Really? Well then I would like you to come scrub my bathtub since you are mine to do what I please with.
