This morning we considered two questions:

Where do the standards for good work come from?

Where should the standards for good work come from?

I asked the students to put percentages on their answers. Here are some of the best answers:

DO
JG:
15% comes from The Ancestors
25% comes from the teacher
10% comes from students
50% comes from the “Big Man” (The rich men and women who make the rules)

QG: 20%: your personal view on the work; do I think it matters?

SHOULD
ES:
10%:Hard working people: Just because somebody works hard doesn’t mean it is good work or should be used as a standard.
