Maybe, and teachers like you are more similar to democrats in the wilderness, trying to figure out how to do their job properly and in the meantime blaming trump for everything.

Wow, you’re terrible person. Just wow

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.

Nobody owes you, whoever you are, sources. This community of educators has nothing but solutions. You are missing the point, dummy. Feedback and solutions are not accepted or brushed off as the “poopy diaper” Penny says she inherited. Dumb ass

Yeah, You can be an incomeptent school leader and also a good perosn. It's clear she needs to be terminated or resigned but the nasty rhetoric here is uncalled for.

Yes and also the bitter teachers that contribute to the toxic culture need to be terminated.

Seems to be a lot of sock puppeting going on here. It’s almost as if it’s your strategy to not let this thread die. You keep saying the same things over and over again. You either have impulse control issues or you secretly want Holton to look bad.

Meanwhile, Holton will soon be recruiting for next year. I’m happy to help keep the thread alive replying to your endless “bitter teachers” and “cYBeRbUllYing” whinging.

Just to say that it is easier to believe claims against a person if there is hard evidence behind it. Not just the imagination of 2 or 3 teachers that don’t like their boss.

No you didn't because his license is listed as expired in the portal and his suspension is also listed. Once again, you're either extremely stupid or intentionally dishonest. Stop protecting a psychologist that's a creep with a history of misconduct.

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.

No one needs to prove to you what a bad environment this school has become. “Taking action” will make it hard to get hired elsewhere. Teachers and staff don’t speak up (even to HR) because they are afraid. There is no action teachers can take to remedy the situation bc they are afraid of retaliation. I don’t understand how this situation doesn’t resonate with others, but they probably work high powered jobs and are not told they are replaceable
