I'm not the only one noticing the groups that party hardy with the person in charge getting favorite treatment.
I'm not the only one seeing them getting the best classes to teach.
I'm not the only one seeing them having their ideas and views becoming policy for the rest of the department to follow.
I'm not the only one seeing them have the same classroom problems everyone else has and seeing their problems ignored.
I'm not the only one that realized regents statistics were not e-mailed to everyone this year, probably because the party hardy crew did not do as well as some of the undesirables.
If I were the boss and I had a group of young, impressionable people working for me, calling me "father" and doing whatever I said, I might favor them too.
The contract says nothing about the boss having to be a nice guy, or even a human guy. Bosses like this one know how to fragment their departments and hold back progress. They know how to hurt, not how to help. It is a shame. Bosses like the one described know how to do whatever they want within the confines of the contract.

Do you think the CL should get involved because all other voices seem silent? What in your opinion will need to happen to get the rest of the staff towards solidarity?
I found a link to an interesting movie on the website Boing Boing. It's about high stakes testing and the effect on student's mental health. I think I may go to a screening of it here in Seattle in December.

No contract violations so nothing CL can do. The only change will be the older staff is retiring soon.
