Back to Pres. Lincoln. I know that throughout the district, decisions take time to solidify. My principal has been complaining that the teachers aren't "bouncing back" as we normally do. We're not rolling with the punches as well as we usually do. Here's my thought. How are people suppose to bounce back if we only get little bomb shells at a time? Why not just drop the big bomb, give us time to process everything (even if it's not all completely solidified) and then let us move on. If parts of the decision get changed or are improved, excellent. We've already dealt with the big bomb. The little bombs just keep bringing us down and forcing us to process. By the time we process, there's a new bomb. All I'm saying, is give people all the facts. Let them make decisions based on all the information... not on part. Afterall, we are an educated group of people. Have some faith in us.

Food for thought...
President Abraham Lincoln once said "I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the facts." I was thinking about this last night as things have begun to change even more and rumors have started to spread throughout my school. I'm used to some rumors, but our school is small... we all know each other and are open with each other. Rumors are very common for us. To quickly summarize, people, including our principal, have begun to hint at big changes for us next year... and they are hinted at not being good. In fact, when one of our teachers was talking to our principal about starting to look for new jobs, his exact response was "It's going to get worse." Well, that's encouraging.
