…skipped school. Seriously.
Kellie Pickler and Trace Adkins performed at a fund-raiser Wednesday night for the PENCIL Foundation, which matches private businesses with public schools in need. Hundreds of folks at the Country Music Hall of Fame event helped raise more than $100,000 for schools.
And speaking of schools, Kellie says she had a teacher assign her to chorus in high school. But the school chorus didn’t perform country songs.
Uh oh.
“I was so mad when I went in and found out that I couldn’t sing country songs that I told them they had to change my schedule or I wouldn’t come to school,” she told me.
“I didn’t want to sing if it wasn’t country music, so I left and went home.”
Kellie quickly adds that that’s not how she feels students should handle disputes with their schools.
But in Kellie’s case, it worked: Administrators took her out of chorus and put her in a home ec class.
