Open Door, Open Mind
I found that opened door trigger peple to drop by my office.
I had closed the door of my office because of air-conditioner last week. Then nobody drop by my office. After I open the door, even though few tens of centimeter, people start to drop by my office again.
It is somewhat like atmosphere of my office vacuums people inside.
Or, perhaps, the door may symbolize our mind is open or not.

In my classroom, the door is always opened …… parents, other teachers, even kids of other classes drop in, look what´s going on, smile in and wave their hands ….. great productive atmosphere ….

Your story reminds me of Robert Fulghum’s book ‘All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten’.
This topic may be rediscovery of what is done in school. :)

I leave my door halfway open. Some people my think door is halfway closed. Their problem, not mine!
Q. Is door halfway open or halfway closed?
A. Yes.

Thanks, Hawk.
