PsyGuy? Are you a naturally self-superior, didactic, person,
or do you have to work at it? Bottom line is, are you for
real? Or just putting everyone on.
What in the hell makes you think you know a single thing about
what other people are experiencing and the motivations behind
how certain administrators operate and why they do as they do.
Sure, you are right in that the job of a principal is to manage
the school and the teachers. And that it is the job of the
teacher to adapt to a new style of management if required.
But if you think you can make a silly blanket statement that
all administrators are propelled by nothing more than a desire
to better their school with nothing personal involved when it
comes to teachers, then you must live on Planet Altair-4.
Whether it fits your fanciful vision or not, there are some
principals out there who are mean, stupid, vindictive,
tyrannical, and have no conscience at all when it comes to
destroying teaching careers. And if they have it in for you,
then no amount of attempted adaptation on the part of the
teacher is going to change it.
One bit of proof is that more and more teachers are finally
relating it, and many others are leaving in droves (as another
poster said), because their physical and mental health, and
even sense of personal dignity, cannot forever withstand the
assaults .
When was the last time *you* (if you ever were at all) in a
classroom? What are *your* credentials to presume to lecture
REAL teachers who know first hand of what they speak of, as to
what they need to know?
Your post is about the most insensitively, boorish, that I have
read it a long time. I don't mean with me...I am tough enough
to handle it, but with Mini. Again, when was the last time you
ever bent over a desk to help a student or contribute to the
teaching realm. Far as that goes, when was the last time you
ever bent over for work at all, unless it was to kiss some
C-Scope executives patootie (yeah, I have read you before on
this one).
Ordinarily, I wouldn't make comments like this to anyone. But
your post was beyond the pale and shows an appalling ignorance
of the realities of teaching today, and what more and more
educators are forced to endure.
