Website Information

Dear Christian Friends Website information: A Vitamin link was added to the resource section of my website some three years ago. The link was appropriate when it was first posted but another company apparently bought the rights to the link. I recently opened the link and found out that it had some inappropriate content. The link has been removed from the resource section of my bigceousa.org website. To those who have websites; it is important to check the content of outside web links on a regular basis. Thanks for your time and attention. M. J. Darby

In the loving hands of a teacher

In the loving, caring hands of a teacher When I was walking down a school hallway I heard a loud scream. I instinctively turned around in the direction of the scream. There was a young lady screaming and running away from a flying bird, she later said when she was a little girl she had a negative reaction when she was bitten by a wild bird. Fortunately most of the students had gone home for day when the incident occurred. The frustrated, frighten Blue Jay flew toward me and perched on top of the right corner lockers located near the north end exist. A feeling of optimism came over me; I felt that the bird would fly to freedom when I opened the door. I tried to entice the bird to fly out of the building by motioning my hands but the horrified bird stood frozen in the same spot.

Workplace Bullying

There is a lot of talk about bullying and intimidation. Most of the talk centers on student bullying in the public school system. Most schools have an anti bullying policy. Punishments are clearly defined for students who choose to bully or intimidate others in a public school setting. The problem with bullying is that it does not always involve students. Some of the most serious bullying and intimidation is in the workplace. Bullying in the workplace is generally more covert than overt. Administrators who solve employment problems subjectively rather than objectively open the door to employee harassment and intimidation. It is unfortunate that there is a lot of subjective decisions in the workplace. Some capable employees are victims of unfair subjective administration decisions. Lots of less capable employees have been promoted because of their likeability or their physical appearance rather than their capability.

The world is changing

My recent visit to the UNCW library was enough to convince me that the education system has undergone some major changes since my initial college years. Hundreds of students were in the library and they all had laptop computers. No old school notebooks or pencils were visible. Students were busy surfing the internet or imputing vital classroom information into their laptops. When I first enrolled in college paper, pencils and index cards were essential research tools now students surf electronic databases to find vital research information. Today’s students participate in online classroom discussions via the internet. Students have specific posting dates and times for the submission of assigned work. They have several posting accounts such as blackboard and task stream and they also have numerous email accounts and some are required to assess various social networks when completing various assignments.
