Buy or Sell?

As the 1st quarter of the 2017-2018 school year draws to a close so much happens within our walls.  If you need evidence you can look here.  

But when will we arrive?  

I’m going to borrow a few lines from a blog by ed leader George Couros: 

In one of my conversations this week, I was asked the question, “How will we know we have arrived at the place we need to be?”  My usual answer for this is that you never will.  I still believe this to be true.  But what I also believe is that change is a constant, yet learning and growth are choices.  My belief is that as an organization, for you to be where you need to be, all of your people need to be comfortable with growing, learning, and development of themselves, no matter their role.

As for my conversation this week, we continued discussing companies that people would buy stock in. Would you buy a stock in a company that has changed nothing in the past 10 years?  It might be doing well now, but if the company doesn’t have a culture that continuously evolves, eventually it will lose value altogether.  Investing money in a company is one thing, but investing in our kids’ futures is much more important.
