I posted the original post on this thread and don't think we
need a board solely for admins (indicated by my comment
above: "teachers would be welcome"). But on the other boards,
constant teacher-bashing is avoided and removed when it appears.
On one of the teacher boards a while back when parents were
bashing teachers there was the comment something to the effect
that "it's not beneficial to have a board that is meant as a
support forum for our profession, only to come here and have that
profession constantly bashed by people outside it." (And on the
teacher boards, those teacher-bashing posts were removed.) But
that's what happens all the time on the admin board and the posts
aren't usually removed. Rather than discussing the things
relevant to us in our jobs, we end up constantly responding to
teacher complaints, or not posting at all. Even when we post our
own admin-related threads, they are often threadjacked by admin-
bashing posters. I "get" that I'm not winning this battle, but I do
want the site admins here to know why I no longer post.
