[quote=Anonymous]Ah.  Very interesting.  That makes sense.

Reading between the lines, I'm imagining an administration allowing minority students to be disruptive, and discouraging teacher attempts at discipline/behavior modification for politically correct reasons.  Or something similar.

Even if my example is wrong and this has nothing to do with political correctness, I can understand this general scenario.  In a way, administrators barging into your classroom aren't the problem.  The problem is if they don't have your back when you need them to.  Then they are not just worthless but an extreme negative influence on a teacher.

And it's not just favored minorities the administration might want to exempt from consequences for bad behavior.  At many schools, it's also the children of the full-pay rich donor types.  The teacher might want to discipline them for classroom management purposes, but the administration will not have the teacher's back on that.

And I'm now re-reading your post and seeing that you teach at a different private school than HTS.  The problems I'm imagining are way worse at non-Catholic schools, because there is simultaneously more wokeness and more money-focus.  And the fact that these admin preferences outweigh actual student safety concerns is terrible.

This is why the country is falling apart.  So many people are so focused on staying out of trouble that they will literally work hard against their own mission.  School administrators now struggle to prioritize student safety over their own selfish image-management goals.     [/quote]
