301--Final Project

This is it, gang. what we've been working towards. Everything I've tried to teach you will help you survive this final task.

You are going to ask for something. Sounds easy, hmm? Not really. You are going to knowingly and willfully employ hegemony to generate reciprocity from one of two people. Dean Bristow agreed to this and I really hope he can still play it Friday, as did Red. Today I'll help you. We've prepped a bit, but now it gets intense because I will not send you into battle without a plan. Ok?

Choose your audience, and choose your request. I'll be checking and if you need help, ask.

Ok, kids. Go.

That is an excellent idea. How are you going to begin with him, since he's not realy the most touchy-feely guy?

I'm going to point out that a counsellor is a key member of staff in any organization, especially in a high school. The fact that this high school has such a wide variety of cultures and the potential for clashing means that a counsellor can be used to diffuse tensions before a situation arises, thus ensuring that the school remains a harmonious place to study.

Perfect. And as Jack is looking into his proposal, you also need to figure out the money angle. How much will said wee-trained counsellor cost us?

I obviously don't know off the top of my head, but for a school that seems to spend so much on defensive measures, I'm sure the cost of a counsellor's salary is small in comparison. Added to that, he or she doesn't need to be full time, at least at first.

I'd suggest a quick search on a headhunter site. Get an average yearly salary and maybe add half again to it since we're unique. Then you'll at least have a number if he asks.

*Elizabeth nods*

That was the plan; I'd not gotten around to it yet. But I will have numbers if he asks.

I have faith in you, E. Work it up, bring it tomorrow.
