Today I sat through a meeting in which the superintendent of the school I work at (essentially my boss) literally got up and had a pitty party for her...I quote "Stop talking while I am talking, I have earned the right the speak". NO...you are wrong...for the past 9 months I have been in my classroom, up and down hallways, at football, basketball, and softball games, school dances, movies in the gym and, oh yea, interacting with students...YOU HAVE NOT, rather you have locked yourself in your office, you have made decisions that make you look good but make my job harder. My favorite quote from the meeting was that she wants to put students first...well evidently that is first after your pay check, my reputation, and my sleep and good morals. Let me make it clear, I do as I am told; wear dress pants and heals daily, mind my p's & q's, spend hours lesson planning for 52 minutes of madness, read silly books because they are required, and sit quietly in meetings because the wrong words would mean my job but tonight I am frustrated with the system!
Let me tell you something to start addressing in our classrooms, the fact that our education system in America is broken, because we don't have our priorities in order - unions, power and indoctrination are put first - hard-working students, teachers and parents an afterthought. I just want the people to understand...we need moral teachers, we need to hire those who love others around them, are not self seeking but God seeking...WE NEED TO STOP LOOKING AT EDUCATION AS A PROBLEM BUT A SOLUTION...
...more thoughts to follow later!
