Sunday Thoughts
My Sunday thought is kind of a continuation from Saturday. Dr. Closen brought up the Peter Principle. (You keep getting promoted until you reach your level of incompetence.) That principle has really got me wondering, "What is my level of incompetence?" I'm a pretty confident fellow, when I know what I'm talking about, but put me in a situation where I am around much more intelligent people than myself and I go quiet because no one wants to show thier achilles heal. I've always said that I will not become a principal until I am much older and wiser than the parents of the students at my school. Each year that passes the gap is getting bigger especially with some of our parents who had children when they were 14. Looking forward to continuing this new journey of finding my level of incompetence. Hoping its a long adventure and not a short day trip.
