A theoretical/hypothetical post:

So what exactly is a “living document”? Well, one would imagine that a living document is one that can be updated, revised, or changed to meet the needs of the vision it was originally intended to address.

The cynic in me is beginning to think that a living document is simply a convenience for those in power to appease those who might particularly disagree with it’s contents. Should there be any naysayers, one can take the position that, “no worries…this is a living document…it can be changed.”

And yet, when that process for change is somehow ignored, the document that once was living, now is dead and yet somehow continues to exert its influence over those unfortunate enough not to have the power to declare otherwise.

Like I said, completely hypothetical.

   hypothetically speaking, if a single plan for school success were a living document, what might happen?

     Hypothetically, that’s a VERY good question, whose answer seems to keep changing…. :(
