Thies - Exciting!

I completely enjoyed the first session of class. I loved all of the analogies that were expressed throughout the day and will be hanging several of them in my classroom and hall.
To begin, I feel this course or one with similar background information should be mandatory for a Bachelor's degree in Education. In just one session, I feel that I can better understand where the administration is coming from in the decision making process and all teachers should have at least a basic understanding. I now see that decisions can't be so black and white. There does not seem to be a scenario that fits the what if this happens...., because terms of incidents are always different. I feel that this information needs to be broadcast and could help administration and teachers work together in the decision making process. Which backs another idea given in class - that committee or teacher input is just that - ideas. This is another big flashing light in better understanding the role of administration.
