Really resonated with this one…especially with the ‘indentured servitude’ bit.
.-= Andy Hayes´s last blog ..Darlene and Thomas Talk about Life after 40 =-.
Very disappointed with the language. I can throw around curse words with the best of any sailor. But I think there’s a time and a place.
It’s hard for me to take someone serious when they talk passionately about running a pre-school in one breath and cuss about something else a few minutes later.
Call me old fashioned or a prune but I can tell you from my own experience that foul language is a credibility killer.
I guess we should ask ourselves, “If my children were in the room, would I say the same words?”. I would have thought someone with “Dad” as a major part of their platform would understand and easily be able to answer that question. I’ve been proven wrong.
Just a thought.
Thanks for your knowledge sharing. I read your blog with love & passion.
Here in my country Uganda Education system is completely bouring and its directed at Job seeking rather than Creation & Tarent.
Jonathan Fields’ Career Renegade has given me courage to answer my dream of starting up a CAREER RENEGADE SCHOOL. What i need is your help and if possible your patternish.
Thanks once again Jonathan Fields.
