Making it till Christmas
Well, the new term -- indeed,
school year -- has started or is about to start, so you may think it is
somewhat premature to be thinking about Christmas already!
However, in
my experience the autumn (Fall) term is the toughest of the lot, and
the final few weeks can be purgatory. How can you and others in your
team avoid that situation? Here are some suggestions, with links to
articles you may find useful.

What does a broken clock signify?
This sounds like an odd
kind of question to pose on an educational technology website, but bear
with me. A couple of days ago I went to my local swimming pool and the
clock on the wall was tilted at an angle, and stuck at ten to six (it
was three in the afternoon).
So
that got me thinking: does a broken clock indicate that the management
really doesn't care that much about such details because they are
regarded as unimportant in comparison to customer service issues. Or
does it imply that the management is so focused on what the reception
area looks like, in order to attract more customers, that anything else
takes second place?
