One for the "Education 'Signs of the Apocalypse'"
Each week Sports Illustrated includes a "Signs of the Apocalypse" - a "can you believe this?" story or event like...
SI May 28, 2012 - "A 12-year-old San Antonio boy received a one-day suspension from middle school after he had a portrait of Spurs forward Matt Bonner—a fellow redhead and his favorite NBA player—shaved into the back of his head; the school declared the haircut a distraction and a violation of the dress code."
SI APRIL 4, 1994 - "In response to scuffles between opposing players at several recent high school basketball games, the Marmonte League in Southern California has outlawed postgame handshakes."
These often remind me of the items on my "What were you thinking?" list I ask all district employees to read and sign.
Well - if there was an Education Signs of the Apocalypse, this training session blurb would make the list.
"As you are aware, school districts are experiencing controversial and troubling times as we navigate through issues of funding, public support and new mandates. These times are fraught with tension, increased workload and job losses that impact us
