Well, I have entered the blogosphere with so much to say and finally a canvas. Some are certainly asking the question, why seven bosses? I have always looked at students as having seven bosses. In a school where students have seven teacher, they must realize that each class and teacher have distinct differences that one must adjust to. I have one boss, and though her mood may change from time to time, her demeanor is relatively constant. On the other hand, our students have 6 minutes during passing time to decompress from the previous class and prepare themselves for the challenges ahead. Having left a room with innovative techniques, 21st century ideals and relaxed atmosphere, the student will soon enter a room with a teacher who is rigid, cold and following antiquated techniques. How many of us would be able to juggle and balance all the personalities a student must face during the course of a day?
Understand one thing, it is essential that students are exposed to the many personalities and flavors present during a day of school. Socialization is the one factor that many ignore when measuring the education a school system provides. A student's success is often measured by their ability to recognize what a teacher expects and wants, and preparing themselves mentally for the changing faces and bosses they meet in 100 minute intervals with 6 minute wardrobe changes.
