An invite to EA staff and community
Many times we cannot express our true feelings in the work place without fear of repercussions from co-workers, superiors or the community. We may fear our comments will put our job in jeopardy or affect our working environment. We worry our motives for our comments may be misconstrued. You are your own best spokesperson.
The list is long of reasons for not speaking up and speaking out. Well now…Here is your chance and here is your place. Please come on in, be honest and let it all out. I believe folk’s need a place to vent, a place to speak candidly. Complain, brag, inquire, explain, about co-workers, policies, the union, the students. Share with us what may be happening in your corner of district 131.
You may want to send out your questions and concerns in a comment to get feedback.You never know who else may be dropping in to take a peak at what is being said. Your thoughts may hit deaf ears but could reach a few eyes through blogging. Reply anonymously if you like, or with your real name, if you choose. If you use an alias (select other) that would help distinguish commenters and make it easier when others respond.
Please read the right hand side of this blog and remember to be respectful.
