Title: NCLB
You might have seen the WDN
account of No Child Left behind in the paper this morning.
I was taken by Kirsten's quoting of Superintendent Tom Ames on
Theory X and Y. What have been WOD readers'
experiences been with Theory x and Y-How have you experienced
organizations and schools and what way do you see the world
working?
Also, if you want to see a good contrast between Theory X and Y
schools, see Chelsey's comments in HBC's Channel 25 Working
Together that airs at 7:30 pm this Thursday April
15th.

Quote from WDN
St. Charles Superintendent Thomas Ames said NCLB ought to be opposed
on "moral reasons."
Ames noted that Douglas McGregor believed people fall into two
categories: Theory X people inherently dislike work, believe people
must be coerced or controlled to do work to achieve objectives and
believe that people prefer to be directed.
Theory Y people view work as being as natural as play and rest,
believe people will exercise self-direction and -control toward
achieving objectives they are committed to and believe that people
learn to accept and seek responsibility.
If you believe in Theory X, Ames said, "Then No Child Left Behind
is for you."
