[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m debating whether to change careers and leave my job at a public elementary school teacher. The administration bullies the teachers and has no respect for their professional training. So many systems have been put into place since they started that I can’t do my job effectively. I love my students but I am not sure I can handle another year of this insanity.[/quote]

Find a school with good admin before deciding to leave the profession. [/quote]

I agree with this. I transferred to a school with a strong admin team and I’m much happier. There’s now mutual respect and an understanding that we are all working toward the same goals.

(My old admin team treated teachers as the enemy and micromanaged us - poorly - every available second of the day. We really need to reevaluate the admin level in American schools. They often do far more harm than good in school environments. It’s time for teachers to lead, but that’s an argument for another thread.)

I will say the workload is the same and I still have to give up at least one full day every weekend to get work done. The difference is now I’m thanked for my extra time instead of being chastised for not doing even more.[/quote]
