Fusion | Professional / Personal.

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     Part of the reason of why I found the regulations and codes of conduct problematic within the field of education, particularly as the K-12 level was because I felt constricted, confined, restricted, it was as though this body, the body that I possess was now in control of regulatory bodies, who could dictate what I could do, say, how to act, behave, and even think. I might sound like I'm exaggerating, but I think that many leaders in the field will hear and understand what I am saying. There are those who survive within the profession, skip, or manoeuvre thier way around the rules and regulations. This is not a good or a bad thing, because it really depends upon what you are trying to do. Of course if there are unhealthy, bad, toxic, or harmful intentions, then rules / regulation need to be there. But if one wants to manoeuvre around rules / regulations to achieve some sort of good, such as: teaching students how to think curiously, where there are points of unknown, or build relationships with students for the purposes of social / emotional learning and support, then I think that his should occur.

     The problem isn't so much the codes, rules and regulations. It could be that harmful behaviour of some professionals, ultimately harm the entire profession as a whole. Officials are alerted to change, adjust, or enforce new rules. I think that regulations or rules can exist alongside the allowing of "bodies", that are being regulated, in other words; service workers to be themselves, by adding new codes, or revising what already exists.

     Rules, regulations try to homogenize a profession, but this can never happen. Every human is different. Trying to become someone you are not, only derives a death to the soul / spirit. For individuals to truly succeed assisting vulnerable populations, or populations of service, there has to be room for a fusion. Fusion to allow a persons personality to reveal itself. Who a person is, what is believed, and to understand why they do what they do, to make a professional practice successful.
