Lesson From A Veteran Teacher

When I read this story in today's Newsday, I knew I had to share it.  Here is what teaching should be about.  Here is a teacher who knew teaching was so much more than a test score.  Here is a teacher that, today, would probably be harassed and rated ineffective by a no nothing incompetent administrator, threatened by a teacher who understood what it is all about.

Message To Administrators

I just saw this on a friend's Facebook page and had to share it here for many of the administrators at Packemin and other schools who read and hate this blog.

This is for all of you!!!  You can't teach and don't know the first thing about your subject area.  You have know idea who is a good teacher and who isn't one.  And, if you did notice a good teacher you would harass that person out of the building because of your fear of being shown for what you really are.

Shame on the Principals who appointed you, and shame on the superintendents who appointed you, poor excuses for a Principal because you know as little as the APs in your cabinet.

I'm gone and have the freedom of saying what others left behind cannot.

Happy and Safe Fourth
