10 situations for class

I really enjoyed the Personnel assignment where we had to look at the different situations. I thought it was important to remember that things are not black and white but often fall under the gray area. I noticed that our policy is vague in many areas and its important to remember that being detailed can cause you problems some times. If you are very detailed in the personnel policy then you set up a lot of boundaries for things you can or can't do instead of just leaving it up to the Principal or Superintendents discretion. I also think its important to remember that different policies will be in place for different size school districts and different make up of schools. For example, a small school may allow the hiring of relatives because they are the most qualified candidate, while a big school may frown upon it. Overall it was very interesting and was worth looking into.
