what's in your head

Ethics. Who would have thought that doing the right thing would be so complicated? I'm already perplexed by the readings in this course and we're only a day in. The various codes of ethics seem to conflict with each other, and contradictions in some case even exist within the same document if the right problem is presented.

Underlining it all is the responsibility for proper self-care. Hilarious that it's mandated in the same document that demands ongoing professional development, commitment to the client, responsibility to society as a whole, contributions to the profession... and so forth. How does one person do all this?

Speaking of pro-d, tomorrow is a professional development day throughout the entire district. I'm highly tempted to stay home which would be both unprofessional and unethical, so I won't. But I want to.
