Things I'd Like to Dialogue About...

This is my list, for starters:
  1. What is the rationale for giving long explanatory announcements that interrupt teaching time? I can accept emergency calls to office, etc. (although even these may be largely unnecessary), but I would like to understand the educational, organizational reasons for these extra, unplanned amounts of information which constantly are delivered to our students via the PA.
  2. What is the greatest fear we have as caregivers?
  3. What is the greatest fear we have as teachers?
  4. To be answered by administrators, what would be the worst thing that could happen in our school?
  5. To be answered by administrators, what would be the best things that could happen in our school?
  6. How do the adults in our school communicate their care for their students, and for each other? I'd like to hear everybody answer this one!
