Thanks for the word of welcome. I would not mind an assistant seeing that I chose the hard road of endless projects. I am also afraid the next one seems to be time consuming as well. Send me an email; sobga-times@hotmail.com
I agree with you about the situation it is certainly a “catch 22” kind of scenario. Don’t get me wrong though, I am for the students going back to school. Only if they do what we sent them to do there (read yesterday’s challenge). The other problem of treating the symptoms and not the disease can be solved if we work as one unit. We are a family and every family has its head, members, rules, and points of discord; let us work through the discord together and any compromises made within this unit should not be seen as relinquishing control.
You point out in your comment that the move to bring the students back may be seen as a revolt against the administration; heaven forbid that anyone puts such ideas in their head. The fight that was won by the student was not that over power, but of chance. A second chance. A second shot at making something out of their lives. Only by realizing this will they be able to go back and do what is required, even expected of them. We on the other hand are now accountable if any of the students fail. It will definitely reflect lack of judgment on our part, and will also be used against us as a point of reference next time we lobby for an issue. The students have a tough time ahead of them; all our eyes are on them. There are high stakes on their performance. I just hope they keep this in mind and not let us all down.
Let us all work together as a family on this if we cannot agree on any other thing. Let us all take part in helping each other in any way we can. We are not experts in the game of life, but we have been where the students are. We know the challenges. For that reason, we are experts of sorts in SOS life, so lend a hand.
