Green athletic fields. An American flag in the distance. A memorial tree to a treasured alumnus. A pond with geese and ducks. Trees. Courts for play. Not a fire ant in sight, though I know they're out there. I don't like fire ants.
One of my favorite things to do is look out my window and see all the activity. Just yesterday I watched the cross country team's interval training, the quarterbacks working on the "three-step drop," and the field hockey girls practicing their shooting drills. The kids were sweaty, but they looked happy and resolute. The coaches were focused and organized. Trainer Ed taped an ankle.
Everything was exactly as as it should be.
Stop by sometime for a visit. You're always welcome in the Upper School. I'll give you a bottle of water or a cup of coffee. Then we can visit about your children, Country Day, or whatever you want. I'm really busy these days, but I try never to be too busy to get to know you. The better we know one another, the better we will understand one another. I suspect we have the same goal in mind - your children.
Then I'll show you the view from my window.
Dinner table question of the week:
Is it ever ethical to Wi-Fi piggyback? If so, under what conditions?
I love the dinner table question of the week - this one is a really good one! The age old question of "If nobody knows I am doing something wrong is it really wrong" can come into play with this question. Thanks for inviting us in as parents to be a part of the conversation.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Your "view" is inspiring - in more ways than one. Is your header photo Skyline Drive, perhaps? Looks familiar...wahoowa!

ReplyDeleteThe header photo is from the Appalachian trail near Blood Mountain, Georgia. Beautiful spot - just like Skyline Drive!
Not sure that this is a clear cut situation where right and wrong is obvious to all parties. Let's add some complexity to the situation to clarify what I mean. Let's also say that the WiFi was open (no security) and the use of it did not cause the "owner" to be inconvenienced in any way, and did not add any expense to the owners cost of having or using the WiFi. Would it be ethical to use the WiFi in this scenario? I would think that in order for something to be "unethical" there would have to be some specific loss or harm caused by your actions.
