Apparently I don't talk enough.

[xp_cyclops]

[I wasn't going to make this public. I started to, and then I stopped, and tried to let cooler heads prevail. It didn't work.]

I'm not one for idle conversation.

I'm also not a person who speaks when they don't have all the information, and aren't sure of the situation.

Apparently, to some people at this school, this is the equivalent of treating them like children.

I guess I have been keeping secrets then, simply because I haven't been talking. I haven't been speaking up first.

I hereby apologize to each and every person at this school for my behavior.

I am not social. I am not a people person. Logan once said I was a dick. He wasn't wrong.

However, in an attempt to mend fences and in the interest of not alienating students any MORE, I hereby offer to answer any question put to me as honestly and truthfully as I am able. And tell you if I am not able to answer that. Even why, if I can.

It's a step. A step toward opening up. Toward not treating you like children.

Take it.

Solutions?

We can't go locking this place up like an asylum and we can't live looking over our shoulders until we're all crazy enough to be locked up in one.

This is a school. Or it's not. Maybe that decision needs to be made. I say that with some trepidation, being a teacher and not. Being two things at once seems to be part of the issue here.

I don't have any answers. I'm still trying to make the questions come out right. There's so much that's good around here and yet the bad comes out of nowhere like a runaway train and shatters it and maybe there is no solution. Maybe we stock up on spackle-paste and child psych texts and hope like hell. Maybe we start training a crack team or two of lobbyists to ship off to DC. I don't know. I wish I did.

Perhaps solutions should be taken to the staff journal.

And we can tell the others that plans are being worked on.
