Teaching the Bureaucracy

Honestly, any organization dealing with policymaking has endless challenges. This is because one policy is never going to please everyone. However, it is essential that students understand that people collaborate and compromise to do what they perceive is best for individuals. So, when teaching the bureaucracy, it is essential that students understand this. Thankfully, the Bureaucracy Project and Bureaucracy Lesson provide a fantastic way for students to dive into the intricacies.
