Your relationships with your division head, your department colleagues, and your students are much more important for job satisfaction. And as most teachers know firsthand, it could always be worse at another school...

We have a few more years and DD doesn’t want to leave, so we don’t want retribution either. I believe what you are saying but I don’t see a way to correct it. Already lowered donation by 75 percent.

You are free to lower your donations and also to leave the school. No one is forcing you to stay.

This is what I don't get. People love the school, its mission, its community, etc, and when they raise legitimate concerns, the answer is to tell THOSE PEOPLE to leave, all for what? Some incompetent and overwhelmed bad hire who despises the school, who called it a "poopy diaper" and spent her first year speaking with nothing but disdain? That is ridiculous. We are not going to let our weak leadership tear down a beloved school.

Speaking up during the state of the school is more effective than anonymous postings. So no, your posting in DCUM won’t change anything.

No response to my point? Just an accusation of something I never claimed to be true? Great distraction!

You are still working at Holton. Unless this is forced labor, I must say you are quite happy with your job.

You cearly don't understand what makes community and why it's valuable.
