The class on Monday provided some interesting topics. The theories of motivation really hit the point that the teachers have to be behind something for it be successful. Smaller projects may get done but for the larger plans the buy-in sounds like it is key.
Reading the IIRC charts about other schools was informative. I had a principal that would say, "well, the money is there, but I don't know if the money is there." Now I may know what he was talking about, maybe.
Brings me to the last topic of Thomas Ryan. What a crook! Should have done more jail time and they should watch him now, because some of the money got hidden- or was he that stupid.
Speaking of stupidity and off topic. If Thomas Ryan would have lived in Davenport, Iowa, he may have been able to get off on probation that would have included going to church for 8 weeks in a row. His pastor could have vouched for him and he could have turned his life around. That is, if he had only been in trouble with the law 1 or 30 other times. Hopefully some other city will have a better plan.
