Dear Elkay,

1. I have `cut-paste' this message which was a recent reply under the forum topic: " Feng Shui for Business ".

2. Feng Shui cannot be seen as a `cure all'. If there are better `tools' or `concepts' e.g. methology in teaching, this would prevail over the use of "Feng Shui". And even give a quantum leap, where Feng Shui cannot fully achieve.

It is the same as using specialised tool for a specific activity. For example, if we want to cut an apple in half, we use a knife instead of using another tool such as a screw driver or even a scissor to cut the apple.

Thus, using the right tool for the right occassion is a much sensible idea than just simply using the wrong tools and be under the "mercy" of hope, hope and more hope...

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Kari,

In my opinion, as much as Feng Shui is `interesting' it can't do more than it's purpose.

For a School, usually, it has to be looked at not only from the perspective of Feng Shui but common sense.

Most Schools if possible try to be sited or located in a quieter environment. For example, if the school is in a city, usually the classrooms are furthest away from the traffic. Such as having open ground or in my country, mini hills (especially if the classroom) is close to the road.

In your situation, it is more the way the subject is taught (i.e. in a `interesting' or allow for greater participation - depending on the topic).

Thus, what I feel is that rather than finding a `Feng Shui' model, the methology of teaching in an interesting way, would best suit the situation.

Feng Shui, in my opinion, cannot be considered as a 1001 all purpose enhancer but rather, is limited by what it can and cannot do.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
