Tuesday, December 28, 2010 Trends: Too Large To Make A Connection I attempted to contact TIME and CNN yesterday to ask if the Black Hole picture I posted recently should even qualify for their pictures of 2010 feature. Perhaps, if it should be included, a more complete explanation is called for in the caption. The result? No contact established. It seems that some companies have become so large and faceless in our new century that it is near impossible to speak to a human who works there. One thing I really appreciate about working with Dr. Tennant at EdClick is that we still engage our customers...in a timely and personal manner. Not a time goes by that we can't speak with a customer within a few hours. This makes me think again about the question of optimal school and district size. Are some of our districts and campuses too large to effectively provide the personal touch? Some districts, like Frisco ISD here in Texas, have made a commitment to "cap" the size of their campuses. In Frisco ISD's case, they are committed to schools no larger than 4A size. Are there diminishing returns for school and district size once a threshold is reached? Are some schools more institutional than personal? Posted at 9:37 AM Keywords: Trends , School Size 0 Comments |
