Ashland Middle School 1/28/2012

The first day being in a different school district. Some aspects they share in common is the fundamental core values. Safe, respectful, and responsible. This shared charachteristic is one that breaks barriers in places and regions. Its a type of social pattern. The first belief is safety. How can students and people be happy if they are unsafe or their basic needs are not met. All organizations should keep that principle numero uno. The second association between the two districts in that students should be reponsible. If one is to achieve and accomplish then they must take responsibility for their actions. A very critical aspect to all learning is facing the man in the mirror, or woman. The last fundamental principle is respect. Respect is something that should be shared with one another. For all confidence and artistic purposes, their must be respect.

One contrast that I found was that ashland seemed to overtly stress taking risks. This concept is interesting because when I think of taking risks in an academic setting I think challenging texts, difficult problems, complex relationships. Learning can be as easy as taking intiative or much more challenging, meaning making intiative. Risk taking is a very opptimistic view...picking and choosing is equally critical when seeking out goal achievement.

Another aspect that was heavy on my mind and heart was my dads surgery. I was very worried about him and it sounds like he is going to get better. Thank no other than god for hope.
