Accountability

In today's world, many of the students, parents, and government look for the school system to set and in many cases provide, the example and structure that is lacking in today's society. The public school systems are responsible for more than educating the children. Parents expect one thing, students another and the State yet another. Schools are providing two square meals a day, preschool, after school services, health services, technology, educating parents... Knowing where to find the resources, provide them, pay for them AND educate the children involves many aspects. In class, we have discussed looking beyond, what is in front of you, when making a decision. "Looking at the big picture", is the phrase that has been used multiple times. How true that statement is! What a heavy responsibility and role to have!
