The first two periods of Tuesday is a routine time when we senior 2 teachers of English get together to have a so called "Collective Wisdom" meeting, discussing and preparing how and what to teach in the next week. Bosses of all levels in our school attach great importance to this kind of meeting. In their eyes, an individual's strength is weak and dispensible, but once united, it'll become a strong power that can face down any difficulties on our way ahead. I agree it may be true in theory. Considering how much work and enegy each one devoted to and its minor-enough-to-be -neglected fruits, however, its necessity really calls for our retrospection.

To teach, and especially to teach in a high school, is not a complicated job as those scientific research work, whose task is often too difficult to be undertaken by a single person.  High school teachers are able enough to accomplish their teaching tasks by themselves. So the seemingly high-valued "Cellective Wisdom" meeting concerning how to teach is nothing but a waste of time. It can bring us no other benefits than boredom and resentment.
