At some point, you have to ask yourself—why stay in an environment that makes you this miserable, and worse, why drag others down with you? If it’s all complaints and no solutions or credible sources, it’s probably time to move on and find a healthier space for everyone involved.

But maybe the “negativity” is just a response to real problems that aren’t being addressed! If people are frustrated and teachers are leaving, that’s not just complaining—it’s a warning sign! It’s easy to dismiss when you’re not the one feeling unheard or seeing the impact. Just because things aren’t “neatly packaged” with proof doesn’t mean the issues aren’t real!

If all the focus is on complaints, nothing gets solved. At some point, people need to come together and offer solutions. Constantly pointing out problems without any action just keeps the cycle going, draining everyone’s energy and making the situation worse.

But that’s the point! People are trying to find solutions, but the HOS won’t listen! What’s left to do when your concerns are ignored? Complaining isn’t about being negative—it’s about getting attention on things that need attention. If the system keeps brushing off valid concerns, what choice do they have but to keep speaking out, even if it's not in the way you want?

Staying in a toxic space doesn’t fix anything. Sometimes stepping away gives you space to breathe and think clearly. If you're stuck in a negative environment, it might be better to remove yourself and allow others a chance to reset, rather than dragging everyone further into the frustration.

No, that's exactly the problem! Walking away doesn’t fix it—it just leaves the same issues for others to deal with! We can't just keep leaving when things get tough—someone has to stay and fight for change! If we all walk away, nothing changes! You’re not solving anything by stepping out—you’re giving up on the people who still need help and letting the system win. We can't just let it stay broken!

Sometimes stepping away isn’t giving up; it’s making room for change. If you’re drained and emotionally stuck, stepping back can help you see things from a fresh angle. You can return with more clarity, new ideas, and the energy needed to actually make a difference. Change can come from outside too—sometimes leaving is exactly what’s needed to reset and approach things with fresh eyes.

NP. This post comes from someone who hasn't ever had money concerns.

I work at a somewhat toxic workplace that has potential. I make 10-25% more there than I could anywhere else. I believe in the organization's mission. I'd rather the admin fix the problems and I get to stay vs. having to job search and take a pay cut to step away and clarify my thoughts, release negativity, etc.

Sometimes new leaders don't work out.

You sound like you’re fighting to defend your low-income neighborhood from a toxic waste dump.

It’s a job at a wealthy private school. Who are these desperate souls you are trying to save? What are you trying to win?

I think the real problem in Holton is not the HoS but these few bitter teachers that cannot control their emotions and started a campaign of cyberbullying. Not a Holton parent but I wouldn’t send my daughters there until all the teachers like you are fired. Don’t want someone that condones cyber bullying as a way to solve problems to teach my daughter.

Lol I'm not even a teacher at Holton.

Ah ok, you can continue cyberbullying. Now everything is fine.

At this point I hate more the teachers for winning than penny. How can you think of preventing cyberbullying among your students if you yourselves are doing it. You should be ashamed and find another job.

Penny has a pretty extensive history of disturbing conduct. Also, who thought it was a good idea to invite a "psychologist" who had his license suspended for some pretty disturbing behavior on campus?

Nothing. Everything is absolutely normal, balanced and fair. Especially since no one is disclosing their identities.

From the teachers comments I would rather invite a psychiatrist.

Seriously, give an example of something that was said that wasn't based on fact?

“Penny is a garbage human being.” Is that a fact?

Well, I think we’ve thoroughly covered every angle of this at this point. Time to put this thread to rest before it turns into another never-ending debate. Honestly, I think ChatGPT had more fun with this counter-argument than anyone else. It might need a nap after all that back-and-forth.

Moderator, feel free to step in and lock this one before we spiral even further!

^^^ Good work, crisis comms, put our tuition money to good use.

If you treat your employees like garbage, you are not a good person. Next?

Having a psychologist that engaged in misconduct with a patient is unacceptable
