Great teachers are constantly, and exponentially victims of overbearing administration. School administrators tailor to the worst, most immature parents who (I hope) don’t realize they are causing a situation where kids can run rampant and completely ignore their education. We do that because the school administrators aren’t there because they like kids or see the value of education. They are there because they have a high paid job that they don’t really need to work at if they can placate a small handful of very vocal parents and mostly keep up on paperwork and meetings. Those parents are going to figure out just how shitty they’ve been when their children get to college… College does not have to give a fuck. We’ve known this for a while. We keep removing rights from the teachers so that administrators don’t have to deal with any harsh situations. That might be specific to Ontario but honestly the sheer amount of people working in education here while people in need get denied access to the MANY programs we have makes me think like they’re just ignoring us and then bragging about having summers off and going home at 3pm.
I am not being harsh toward teachers. Quite the opposite. It’s those involved in education that have little to no experience in it that are clinging to cushy administrative jobs that I take big issue with.
