I was in principle school paid for by a well known corporation and one of the "professors" told us that we should always be working on getting rid of a teacher. I looked for the research to see if there was support for any this idea and there was none. I confronted her about this and she was angry and sullen like a student caught plagiarizing only this time the source was a lie. I have not used my principal's license and have stayed in teaching--eighteen years now. The vilification of teachers has had me defend my profession to taxi drivers, computer programmers, salespeople, models, the unemployed and the retired for most everyone seems to think they are experts on "accountability." Again and again I tell them, if a principal knows a better way than establishing trust with a student and working as consistently as possible with him or her - often times with their parents via then internet and phone calls--then please let me know and come into my classroom and meet my students. This usually silences folks since no one want to step into the classroom despite the talk of how easy it is to teach. cknjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
