Losing Face



It must be really hard running a department when the people you are in charge of have absolutely no respect for you.  And, when you have done something really stupid, like, for example, sending a private, evil e-mail to the entire department, you show your twisted mind to everyone.

It is truly amazing what passes for an administrator in today's world.  But, when stats are good, humanity and intelligence are often overlooked.  No one wants to realize the good stats have nothing to do with the vindictive devil in charge

So Much For Wanting To Keep Quality Teachers



This comment, from Burntoutteacher needs its own post.  She's getting her own well deserved rainbow.

I did it P'Oed! Tuesday morning I got up from yet another sleepless night and just could not could not could not face going in to that hostile environment. After 23 years (no way I could last to 25) in the DoE, 21 of them as a well-respected, S rated teacher, mentor, student teacher instructor, I could no longer face the harassment, targeting, evil administration. I put in my papers this week and I am now a retiree! The DoE may have screwed me out of a decent pension, but they will not have my health and happiness!!!!!!!
