Week 1

A couple of things I got from this week were that everything is not black and white. Every decison has to be looked at from every angle and anaylzed so the best solution can be attained. The bottom line however is that you have to do what is best for kids and be able to live with your decision because it will always come back to you. Another thing I got was that even though you may busy with school and it seems like there is no time for anything else, you have to make time for your community. You have to be a memeber of the community and show interest in the community. Those are the people that you will turn to for help in tough times and if they know you and your values it is hard to say no or place blame. I liked the discusion about school vision, personal vision, and person skills. Sometimes personal skills are just not there and might not be able to develop them, so in that case you have to make tough decisions and eliminate good people who are not good teachers. Tough thing to do, but the right thing to do.
