Teachers, look at your situation. Are you oppressed? Do you work for a tyrant principle who treats you like dirt? Is No Child Left Behind leaving your students so far back in the pack that they're choking on the dust. Don't give up..... get mad as hell. Open your car window on the way home (when at a full stop) and shout. I'm Mad As Hell And I'm Not Going To Take It Any More!
That's a good step. Now it's time to get to work.
About fascist principals:
I have little doubt that principals are under intense pressure. I wouldn't want to be in administration for anything. They get treated like trash and it trickles down to the teachers.
However, this trickle down process is an excuse. It doesn't have to be that way. My mother always said, "You can catch more flies with a teaspoon of honey than you can with a barrel of vinegar". She was right. Instead of top-down browbeating and fear, why don't entire school districts try to operate within a realm of dignity and respect. I don't get it. It's the golden rule 101. Treat people like you yourself want to be treated. When this happens, the students will be all the better for it.
