Driver's Ed, Period 2, Thursday

[doubleohblonde]

Instead of the driving course, today the Danger Shop resembled a large waterway, with buoys picking out a course. Several water craft waited at a small pier.

"Good morning," Bond said. "Continuing and expanding on last weeks theme of driving more unusual vehicles, today you'll be trying your hands at steering hovercraft."

He went on to explain the controls and the principles behind the craft themselves. "Technically they can travel over both land and water, but do try to stick to just the water today."

Community Service and You, Friday, Period 2, An Orphanage on the Mainland

"Before we get started, I wanted to remind everyone that our final workshop will be a small gala brunch vent for charity," Bruce said. "So, make sure to dress nicely and be ready to try to talk rich people from out of town into donating as much as they're willing to give to good causes."

"But in the meantime, we're doing something near and dear to my heart today," Bruce said, shifting gears. "My parents were killed when I was eight years old. I was incredibly well off due to my parents' fortune and our butler, Alfred, raised me the way my father would have wanted. But even though I was the most fortunate orphan you could imagine, I still know what it was like to lose the most important people in the world to you at such a young age. Because of that, I make sure to give both time and money to orphanages regularly."

"Today, all I'm asking for is your time. Spend the class period hanging out with some kids. It helps if you go in with a specific activity in mind, but remember, it's about them. If they don't want to do anything on the playground, if they just want to read? Adjust your plans. Good luck."

Teamwork for Jerks, Friday

The students met in a standard classroom today, and there was something written on the whiteboard as they walked in:

Compromise: noun An agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.

"Compromising," Jack said, gesturing at the board, "is what teamwork is about. Unless you're in charge and an ass, you aren't going to get everything you want all the time. You need to be able to figure out what you're willing to give up to get what you want. If you don't, you're not gonna get anything done at all."

She drew two circles on the board, one inside the other. "So this," she said, tapping the inside one, "is your inflexible area. This is the stuff you won't give up on. The outside circle is your flexible area. It's the crap that you could bend on, even if you'd rather not. When you're compromising, you can make a list of what's in both circles and then talk them through with your team to figure out what's the best choice for the most people."

"Your assignment for today is to do a circle like this to figure out where we're going for lunch. My treat, as long as we all agree on a compromise by the end of class. No compromise, no free food."

She tapped the inner circle. "So what's the stuff you absolutely won't compromise on about lunch?"

Today, class was not taking place in the weird mindfu Danger Shop. Today, there was only the plump blonde crazy lady and not the skinny brunette crazy lady. And the blonde lady looked super-happy.
