[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op is your admin female? I am a feminist to my core so it pains me to say this but most of the worst schools to work in are led by women. There is something about female admin that just tanks school culture. [/quote]

I don't agree with this- I've worked for good female and male principals and bad female and male principals.  My current principal is male and yelled at us for answering the anonymous staff survey with any negative feedback.  He takes no responsibility for why teacher morale is so low.[/quote]

I agree with the second poster.  I work in a school that has had a revolving door (although we're finally steadying up now).  Our 2 worst principals have been female and male.  Both were completely off the scale in terms of how bad they were.  The only difference was that in addition to being psycho the male principal sexually harassed some of the younger female teachers and perhaps even a few students.  The female principal was just nuts.  I don't think the vetting and supervision process is strong enough for these positions.  School systems need to do personality testing before hiring and I think they need to come in mid-year and do a quick 360.  Both of these two worst principals set off alarms just speaking to them in the hallway before interviewing let alone once they assumed their positions.[/quote]
