Hey hey hey! It's that time again!  Thats right, time for another weekly blog.  This week's topic is a very serious and important issue that needs to be discussed.  This week I am going to discuss....wait for it......blue tape!  Yes, thats what I said, blue tape.  For all of you who do not what this amazing educational tool is, it is actual, physical blue tape that teachers put on their white boards to organize their daily agenda.  Recently Broward County Public School teachers have been required to use blue tape on their boards.
      Personally I really don't feel any more academically advantaged with blue tape.  I will admit that it does make each day's shedule a little more organized. Also students are more likely to complete their warm-ups when they walk in, because they know where to look.  My question is, why don't schools use red, yellow, or purple tape? Why is it important to use blue tape?  I guess the color blue does create a calm and relaxing mood. So maybe the color does have an affect on classroom behavior. Perhaps students become just a little more focused in the classroom with the help of good ol' blue tape.
I believe that blue tape is really just a waste of money. The only benefit I see is that it makes the classroom look just a little more pretty and inviting. At least it's blue tape and not a poop brown colored tape. The last thing I shall say is, thank you blue tape for supposedly calming me down, keeping me more organized, and not being a putrid, disgusting color.
