About werewolves: I'm not suggesting that all principals have evil Canis Lupus tendencies. However, I do suggest that all administrators take a deep look into his or her own soul and ask him or herself "Am I a werewolf? Do my claws come out, and do I howl at the moon when benchmark testing and the high-stakes assessment time comes around? Do I look at people and think of how nice it would be to smack them into next week?" All of this is figurative, of course. None the less, teachers, administrators, or the prez, should take time to ask him or herself... "Is the way I am conducting myself honorable and with the best interests of all involved?" If there is doubt or guilt, fix the problem.
I received my undergraduate degree in special education (K-12) from the University of Nebraska Lincoln in 1991. I taught k-12 in the Omaha, Tampa/St. Petersburg, and in the Atlanta area.
I received my Master’s Degree in Elementary Reading at Literacy in 2007 and I am currently working on my Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction.
The more teachers I speak with, the more angry I become. Teachers are treated like second-class citizens, and it’s time to say “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any longer!”
