[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6219247, member: 8835"] The problem I've seen with schools in general is that they are run by people without any corporate business experience. Organizing a presentation or function is something corporate people know how to do. because they've had to do it and possibly had classes on it specifically. I've got quite a few teacher friends, and while I'm sure enough that they are good at their job of teaching kids, I can tell that they and their bosses are not good at running a school with anything approaching business experience. Every teacher is responsible for creating their own lesson plans. Even the new ones. In the corporate world, a new employee gets handed a plan to follow that was drafted by an experienced employee. they don't share a plan in common across the entire class (immagine 5 teachers doing Math 1 with 5 different lesson plans in the SAME school). Further, they argue that its good they do this because they can customize it to their kids. How can they be customizing the Fall lesson plan for kids they've never met from the previous grade? How can the new teachers write a plan targetting his kids when he's never worked there before? This school function tale is another example of people with no sense of how to do practical business things are asked to put something together. It's a no-brainer that a slide deck of team pictures with music accompaniment would be EXCELLENT to show during the initial seating/eating as a way of entertaining those who are waiting/filling the quite space of people stuck waiting to get food. Generally, once people got food, it should be game on. Even the Emmies start handing out awards while the food is on the plate. Sadly, it's too much work to take over a school system and revamp it, and the pay ain't all that great. [/QUOTE]
