“Buy the “Golden Power Standard” program for your district today!”: A tragic comedy

JP Chenjeri, CEO and Innovator

I am passionate, licensed, and experienced teacher. I have developed a program, backed by my experience and selective research and broad interpretations of management theory, called the Golden Power Standards, or GPS way. This innovative program promises massive returns on investment overtime. With this program, users who surrender their intellectual and moral autonomy to me and the GPS way, can assure an efficiency, student-centered, and results driven schooling experience.

As a teacher, I believe the best units I did were in material I understood well and had organized. My worst teaching was when units were not. For example, if I teach a unit on the Abrahamic faiths, the lesson was developed after my own study into the core texts, artifacts, and thinkers, where space was provided to engage with the ideas myself. As a teacher, I applied this toward presentation and engagement with other people in unique stages of development, providing them with organized guides for note-taking, hints at key themes, questions, discussion, and artifact analysis, and days spent on how to process information for essay questions, seminars, role-plays or other projects. The most fun as a professional is bouncing ideas off colleagues, working with the students, and being an active agent in this relational process of learning and holistic forms of assessment.

Fortunately for you! No studying or professional autonomy is required with my full proof, ‘student-centered’ program. Students will no longer have to struggle with abstraction, ambiguity, or wrestle with “difference.” Because my program streamlines the adult mind as well as the students, behavior is incentivized toward the GPS “key of school norms” – pre-printed on school wide posters. Every classroom will be provided a poster with the three keys in the GPS “way” (trademark term): Efficiency, know your GPS “way” (trademark), and the Selective Questioning Model (trademark).

The teachers, unlike those with open time to be students themselves, will no longer face the anxiety of ‘choice.’ All GPS lessons are bullet pointed for referential understanding, and come with fun ‘opener mantras’ that reinforce the positivity-centered message at the heart of GPS – curated for your specific lesson lacking any ambiguity as to purpose and aims!

While teachers and students may benefit from having to make “choices,” face difference, and allowed to wrestle with being human, GPS has discovered research strongly indicating that conformity is just easier and more cost-effective. When testing is streamlined and without abstraction, you can bet your hard-earned tax dollar that test scores will improve! To support learning, sensory experiences will be monitored by the new school board approved AI “GPS” trackers, with custom avatars that each user can develop themselves – won’t that be a fun staff team-building exercise?

The work of observation for administration and their GPS teacher coaches, your “trail guides” (trademark), is streamlined with the AI app! The GPS “pathway” belt-tracker (trademark) will signal any changes in blood flow and heart rate, states of arousal in the pupil, as well as audio recording of suspected muttering under one’s breath. GPS “trail guides” will be immediately alerted to GPS teachers that are “no longer in range,” and will be fired shortly after.

Would it be cheaper, better for well-being, and more interesting to use our time for teachers as individuals and teams to study teaching journals, engage in study and practices of their own interests, and that of their own subject areas? Allow profession teachers the time to collaborate with the private sector, workers, scholars, and professors? In practice, this usually means more organizing and administrative work, but as our 3rd-party-read studies indicate: just doing what I say is easier.

My program costs $500 for an initial meeting with a representative, who will also require long-term lodging, meal stipends, and a good-will $1,000 “smiling faces” non-refundable deposit. But, when you become a GPS “school on the map” (trademark term), you will receive a one month, 5% discount on GPS merch! The costs per year increase annually for the initial 10-year contract. After that, if you choose to buy another company’s district-wide program, you can choose between one of our sign up clauses for ‘closing’ a contract – either 9 more years, or 10 years at a 2% discount. Teachers will also attend required GPS conferences at $4,000 per teacher, where the new mantras will be chanted for approximately three, 3hr blocks, with provided meals and caffeine breaks.

With my program, you, the boss, will never have to worry about disagreement, disharmony, inefficiency, or deviation from the norm. There will be only the orgiastic state of knowing one’s place in the GPS system.

Now there will be naysayers and negative Nancy’s who may ask, “why did I get a degree in this field?,” “Am I someone worth also being ‘centered’ in this work?” “Is your child not an individual interested in unique forms and expression?” “Do we not all engage in what another may perceive to be ‘useless,’ and also find many ways to be ‘useful’ throughout our lives?” Fortunately, with our system, everyone will have a streamlined way to find their place in the GPS “roadmap” (trademark).

I cannot wait to have one of my trained representatives and speakers come to your school today! Put your individuality in my hands, and as one bundle of unbreakable sticks, our labor time will be put less toward human experiences and toward efficiency.
