Whither the singing?

I attended morning assembly in school for the first time today. Can't help but notice that singing of our National Anthem and school song was pathetically inaudible. The same goes for our pledge taking. Where's the enthusiasm? I remembered what my youngest son said of teachers --- that we often expect our students to sing and say the pledge with gusto, but we do not set the example. Erhem! Could you hear my sweet and patriotic singing, and recitation from the back of the hall? Next time, people, inject some life during morning assembly. Okay?
