Max was having a rough day; nothing was going right at school. The router was down and the teachers could not get the Internet. The teachers were not happy about not being able to get online. He was dreading to go to class. Once he was there the mysterious professor Oracle began class by having them compete in a team building exercise. It is important for teams and staff to have a strong sense of community. It is important for teams to feel each other’s successes and disappointments. When teams work together at an emotional attachment level they perform best. Max was surprised by Professor Oracle’s Knowledge and began to relax. Max realized that he can learn a lot from his professor.
