From day one the Pariah learned that the Advanced Orchestra would be combined with the Beginning Orchestra. This is bothersome because it's like teaching Pre-Algebra and Calculus at the same time. It makes it very difficult to give all the students the positive experience necessary to grow a successful program. The Pariah made an effort to meet with other colleagues to decide what could be done to enhance the experience. One of his colleagues offered the suggestion that he must never let the situation just die, so from day one the Pariah has made an effort to change the scheduling. Instead of just complaining like the average person, the Pariah decided to offer solutions as he talked about the need for change.
One day the Pariah came into work to find out that one of the solutions mentioned would be used effective immediately. The Pariah was ecstatic, but more importantly, the students are now having a positive experience. It all comes down to the simple fact that if there is a problem, complaining does no good. When solutions are offered problems are resolved.

Down With Sams Club!!!
The past week the pariah has learned of one of the best deals on earth. It is unknown how this has slipped past the attentive eye of the pariah for noticing great bargains. The pariah has learned of a new vendor that who's violin is "'A stringed instrument played with a bow, capable of great flexibility in range, tone and dynamics.' Don't overlook the aptitude your child may possess for this superb musical instrument."
Upon further analysis it has been learned that this gem of an instrument is sold for the amazing low price of $83.88. It is amazing that the local vendors of Summerhays, Burt Murdock, Riverton Music can even stay in business when there is a new vendor that sells such a quality instrument.
This information came to the Pariah's attention when he spent every single day after school performing repairs to the quality instrument already mentioned. Strings have broken, bridges have fallen, pegs don't stay put, and tone is comparable to that of nails scratching on a blackboard. WHAT A GREAT DEAL!!!
The pariah has come to the conclusion that despite the great deal of such a quality instrument that it can be called a "superb musical instrument", all must join forces so that the local vendors of all music instruments don't go out of business. The temptation to buy such a wonderful instrument must be overcome. One must decide that it is better to spend a couple hundred of dollars to buy an inferior instrument, an inferior instrument that don't require day-to-day attention of a certain pariah, or any other colleagues.
