First, on Stasia’s comment about purpose in the classroom;
this is extremely important for students to actually gain knowledge on a topic
rather than memorize it short term for a good grade. The classes I have fewer
memories about are classes that had no purpose for me: biology, algebra, etc. I
think it would be extremely hard for a high school teacher to set a purpose for
learning something such as algebra that most of the students will never use
again in their life.
Next, a random thought I had while reading this chapter and
I want to see if anyone agrees with me. The chapter talked about the baby
boomer generation. Does anyone else feel like we are going through another baby
boomer period?! I swear every time I blink my eyes, someone new is pregnant!
Lastly, I don’t really have any one specific thing I want to
go on and on about. I just picked out little points throughout the chapter. I
really liked the section about businesses such as TOMS. The book stated “..and
to use profit as the catalyst rather than the objective.” I like that statement
because sometimes in order to be successful, money and profit can’t be the main
objective; it has to have a deeper meaning. Also, going along with our last
class’s discussion on cheating- 56% of MBA students admitted to cheating. That
is a ridiculous amount of people that admitted it; think about how many more
there are that DIDN’T admit it! Yikes!
