Two are pretty good advice for the general public:

Stop the spread of BCD

#BCD: This is an acronym that we will use at Bluffton Elementary to remind ourselves not to Blame, Complain, or Defend our circumstances on anyone or anything else. Join us as we continue to stop the spread of BCD this year when there are so many issues and excuses to BCD about.  For more explanation please see the video linked here: Two Minutes with TK #9: No BCD
