Administrators and Teachers: strange bedfellows

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "What About Adminstrators? And Principals?":

Managers need to manage. That's why they make the big bucks.

Principals should not be hiding in their offices letting inappropriate things happen in their buildings when they stand to indirectly benefit from unoin strong arm tactics.

It's a conflict of interest.

Maybe this is why administration never really hold the teachers accountable to much anyhow.
They don't want to bite the hand that feeds.

Where is the accountability?

It's up to the superintendent (who has his own personal contract and not affected by PCT negotiations and is paid for his expertise in this very type of situation) and the BOE (elected representatives of the community).

  1. The Board of Ed does a walk through of the buildings at the beginning of the school year.

    Didn't they notice that classrooms weren't decorated?

    It's October and maybe they should walk through the schools again.

    They would see undecorated rooms and barren hallways.

    There's a word in Yiddish for this - shondah, which means shame.

    What's going on (or what's not going on) is a shondah, especially for the kindergarten and elementary students.

    And it's a shondah that parents have to be reporters and tattletales in order for the BOE and the superintendent to know what's going on.

    The superintendent and the BOE need to stay on top of this and ensure that children are having similar experiences in school this year as they had when a contract was in place.

    Negotiations should not be a deciding factor in hanging children's work up on the walls.
