Wellesley High School Commencement Speech: "You Are Not Special" (FULL VIDEO)

David McCullough Jr., a long-time English teacher at leafy Wellesley High, took on our parental disorder in his graduation address there Friday. “You’re Not Special” — now posted at Bostonherald.com — is a speech to read and copy and hand out next fall at PTO. He’s nailed our epidemic neurosis perfectly.
