iste 10 - just an observation

about the grumbling.. particularly the opening talk..
just an observation - k..?
from our end.. which - is the end we control... 

i'm wondering if..
the perceived gap 
in a lot of minds between what the speaker should have done and what he did, 
is much the same if not smaller than 
the perceived gap 
in a lot of students' minds between what the teacher should do and what the teacher does.

and i'm wondering if.. 
the reaction 
that night was much the same if not larger 
than the reaction
from students on a daily basis in classrooms.

i'm not putting any value judgment on what this speaker did or what's done in classrooms... just talking perceived gaps..

wondering if that perspective helps next time there is a perceived discipline problem at school.

transparency is the new currency.
