[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the teachers in my high school are forced to teach leader in me during our advisory/home room time.  I just feel like I am rambling about jargon nonsense for thirty minutes.  The videos seem geared for elementary schoolers and are sometimes not in English. The PowerPoint this week was over forty slides to get done in 30 minutes.  It has been a constant fight just to keep kids off their phones, but I honestly don’t blame them.    I can’t believe the county paid $1.8 million for this.

Conceptually there is nothing wrong with the seven habits  but the presentations seem to assume I am some sort of indoctrinated expert already who is all bubbly about this shit and can think of loads of examples or something.  Some kids are in sync with it.  Usually students who already have a positive attitude and don’t really need this “training”.  But most students have bigger priorities and I and don’t feel like this meets their needs at all.

I asked my other classes how the training is handled and it seems like most are just doing their best to completely ignore it and pretend to hear nothing.[/quote]

My school has run into snafus in starting implementation. Totally not because we are intentionally sabotaging it. We would never take that extreme a step to protect instructional time the first five weeks of school. This company knows what our students need better than we do.[/quote]
