Through the past week I noticed something that then led me to learn and It was that everyone was stressed out! Just by entering the room at key points of the days the amount of stress in the class was too high and beginning from our teacher to the students.
I don’t know if you would agree on me about what I am saying but its something that I realized
When we all started working on the magazine itself and the research for the article was going fine, until something happened and I have a hypothesis about what were the reasons, I think it is because of the deadlines for all kinds of stuff were coming closer and closer, plus on our 4 MYP classes they had also filled us with homework and we got completely stressed out.
As you can see I haven’t mentioned being switched off as one of the stress problems and why is it that I haven’t mentioned it? It is because sometimes in the day people in general need just a few seconds to relax. And as the video that we watched on Friday said, “when you ask people where the best place you can work they never say the office” and its true because In the office everyone is stressed out and there are 1000 things happening at the same time and also its very true because when you are at home or wherever you prefer to work you have the liberty to take a few moment to breath calm without anyone telling you at what time you can or can not take that break.
Maybe until now you are just thinking that this entry takes you nowhere but what I am trying to say is that they have repeated 1 billon times about being switched off that we are relaxing too much and then we start to give absurd reasons as for example saying that the couches are the problem.
In my opinion the couches are not the problem, and I not just inventing this stuff up just to have the couches and relax but because I noticed something on Friday and it was that in Mr.Ensleys class we had lots of pillows and couches and everyone worked and also everyone remembers and wants to have Mr.E’s class again.
What I really want to say is that just taking a deep breath and just enjoy the moment for one moment isn’t bad, but we are just thinking on finishing the magazine and our blog post that we are forgetting about the most important part of Innovation academy and also what brought us in it which is “create a passion for learning “We have forgotten on the why and started just thinking on the how and just thinking on having everything done without appreciating all the work that we are doing and all the fun plus work we could have been having"
