Perspective

Last week I had a few things to say about perception and reality in our positions as educators. This week I would like to cover the issue of perspective. It makes a perfect follow-up to the subject of last week because we are drawing attention to our point of view, and whether or not our perfect outcome is achieved. Take into consideration, our secure campus and subsequent controlled release on Wednesday. One viewpoint is that when information is presented we need to error on the side of safety for all staff and students, yet in direct contrast of that view, we may have some that said it was a waste of time because nothing happened. What is our measurement? I am very satisfied to know that all our students and staff went home safe, albeit, not all happy. On a deeper level of perspective, it begs the philosophical question of when does not enough become enough, or when is enough too much? No doubt, we have a moving target here (cue Howard Jones - No One Is To Blame). Have a safe Halloween and a relaxing weekend. Go Pups!
