Reply #59: What ever happened to integrity in & by the schools? [View All]

[southerncrone]

I'm half holding my breath that they don't try to screw me out of my <$400 per month retirement. It's just a crap shoot at this point. I so wish I'd gotten my MBA instead of my MEd. At least in the business world you can expect to get screwed. I had the lofty notion that I could make a difference for kids & my community. Ha Ha. Jokes on me.

I'm convinced that administrators are chosen to facilitate the undermining of the education system. It couldn't accidentally get THIS messed up. Until parents & students are held accountable for their behavior & attitudes, this will only spiral further into the dumpster. We cater to the worst of the students, while those that do right by themselves & others are left to suffer at the hands of the bullies & delinquents. I'm forced to spend inordinate amounts of time & energy on kids who were sent to our alternative school, or are suspended (both out of school & in school). Teachers are punished for the bad behavior of our students, instead of the parents. We seriously need more parenting classes, but that cost too much $. Yea, right.
