3 (SSS) that equal a Solid Student System
Sense + Stability + Structure = Solid Student System
Dr. Deming insisted
that 85 to 97 percent of problems in an organization are the responsibility of
management I have found this true time and time again in my 36 year
career in Process Improvement in Business and Education.
Dr. Deming was ardent
about not “blaming” workers for poor quality when so much of it was “a fault of
the system.”
Just last week a private school had a week long
activity known as ‘Spirit Week.” During this week each day provided a day of
dress-up from a school spirit day to decade type dressing to crazy hat day to
dressing up like twins or triplets (Dr. Deming would hate this day since many students
felt excluded if not asked to dress like someone else.).
Loosely stated rules were applied (Written and
Email) to each day and were reminded each day during announcements ( Ever
wonder how many students and teachers are really listening at the end of the
day – try going to a kindergarten or first grade class and see what it takes to get them ready
to go home).
On one of the days a number of girls did not follow the
rules and broke some dress code rules. They were initially punished by saying
they could not participate in the next day’s activity. This met with outrage, crying
and complaining since parents bought clothes and accessories for each of the days.
It was later changed to a lunch detention.
Administrators/Teachers (Leaders/Managers) set up
the system/rules without strict rules/guidelines variation is expected. Instead of admitting the roll-out of the weeks
activities had flaws the students were punished for adult inadequacies.
So again I say - Sense + Stability + Structure =
Solid Student System
What is really troubling is the amount of school
system/classroom rules that do not have the best interest of the student.
Especially if something goes wrong. It is easy to blame those who have no voice
in policy or decision making. Like Dr. Deming said another example of “The Demise
of the American Management System.” However, In this case it is the Demise of American Educational
System.

What makes a BAD politician?
By being an Idiot!
By Being a Bully!
By Believing that you/all are not Liars!
By Shouting instead of Talking – How Nauseating – you make
me sick!
By not Selling yourself to the highest bidder!
By Being/Acting Stupid and worse yet by thinking we are Stupid!
By Thinking just because you have made a career in Politics
that you are the most qualified!
By not understanding you work for the people!
Yes, we want an outsider to shake up our government to remind ourselves that government serves the people. This race is all about EGOS!
Washington Politicians - Pass a law LIMITING the campaigning to six months.
WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE!!!!
