They showed that you don t have to work your way up, you simply have to fit their agenda, whatever that agenda may be. The School Board also taught me that when they said that they respected teachers as professionals and wanted our input, that was not totally true. A selection committee reviewed all of the applicants and made a recommendation, but the board went against that recommendation, saying in essence that they didn t care how the committee felt. They also didn t care that approximately 140 professionals submitted a petition stating their feelings on the issue. The board passed its decision without discussion or comments.
Life lessons are always difficult to learn.
Keep making decisions in the same way, and see who s left when the dust clears.
