Welcome and a few protocol preferences

Hi everyone, Stacy here. I have started this blog for our class so we can share information and responses when we are not together. I have never done a blog before and I know this one looks pretty ugly as of now, but I hate wasting paper so I thought I might be able to post things for you here such as articles and information that might be useful in your work.

Please check this for updates.

Before I get to business I want to state that I believe this group holds promise for growth during our time together. I can sense your depth and the presence of a good work ethic when we are together. We can go further with this.

Note re: protocol
This has to do with overall lateness and attendance. I urge you to analyze your morning routines in order to reach class promptly. The only excused absences that I am aware of are for the Camino Real cast from this past Monday. Fielding excuses for tardiness does not support my philosophy of hierarchy destruction, therefore I request that you just come into class if you are late without shifting the class focus toward getting my acceptance of an excuse. I do have time after class to hear individual comments, but I do not need to hear these things. My time is valuable and I would rather dedicate my energy to assisting you with our work together. You will be presented with options toward the end of the semester if my records show that you are in danger of falling short of the class criteria due to lateness or absence. This option will not be as helpful to your growth in the same way that rigor and discipline can be, however, and working in harmony with our class schedule offers you a wonderful opportunity to develop rigor. Deepen your relationship to responsibility and you will get much in return.

None of you would show up late for a shoot- please endow our class with the kind of value that you assign to professional opportunities.

Thanks for reading this. I do not anticipate making any more posts of this nature, but will hereafter be gifting you with research and study materials for your archives through this format.

Stacy
