The reason is that I have met more than a few that weren't even fit to teach classes at our jr hs. They were political lackeys who were little different than some of the most anti-intellectual students and parents. They blew in the prevailing winds. Idiocracy comes to mind. I somehow imagine being replaced by Brittney Spears because the kids like her better.karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04958110477853076477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176901787520886426.post-91966281128349698942011-09-13T08:27:47.757-07:002011-09-13T08:27:47.757-07:00I would think that most jobs are subject to the wh...I would think that most jobs are subject to the whims of management. Such is life. The only way to keep anyone from abusing ANY system is agreed upon processes. <br /><br />I think we have all been subjugated to people who are 'phoning-in' their job performance because of tenure or time in service. I think it would be more productive to negotiate processes to reduce the risk of abuse than to strike and take kids out of school.Lynettenoreply@blogger.com
