They are going to be at their desk doing what they are supposed to do while taking phone calls filled with complaints, that can only be solved several pay-grades above them if they do it. If they don't they'll face punishment from their superiors for not recognizing state legislation.
Getting mad at the principal is like getting mad at a ship's captain for instructions handed down by his admiral, who had his orders handed down by the Chief of the Navy, who had his orders from the President. The Principal is just the middleman in a vast system. He takes his orders from the superintendent, who takes his orders from the state board, who are subject to the state General Assembly (or whatever your state calls it). He has little or no real control over what he can do.
I fully, absolutely, 100% agree with you. But I hate that ***** and she hates me. Just like the waitress at a food joint, if the food sucks she's going to take the heat and then she can move it up the chain.
This principal tried to get my ADHD kid sent to a school for problem children even though he's acing his classes. All she need is 10 suspensions and it's done. We had to hire lawyers and advocates to protect our son and we were given promises by senior school administrators that there would be no more suspensions based on his ADHD, a government recognized disability. 2 days later she suspended him again. She thought my wife would take her usual half hour to get there and was surprised when I got there in 5 minutes as she was trying to sneak out. In front of the office workers I cursed her out real good for going back on her word - used the F word 3 times. She told me to get out of "her" school, and I told her it's MY school and, as a civil servant, she works for me. She called the cops. My wife kept thinking this is going to end up hurting our son. But I'm guessing that once her bosses found out that she went back on a promise made by the school district's administrators it was she that took the heat - my kid hasn't been suspended since and it's been over a year and a half.
What I'll probably do is have my kid pulled from the classroom when the gay sh!t starts and he can go back when it's over.
I'm still not allowed back there.....
SHOOOOOOT .....
My kids schools hated to see me coming and just like Steve, I was as mean to them as I could be. They are just plain out and out stupid in every essence and sense of the term.
These people, for the most part, were not educators, they were Sheep Herders and Indoctrinators that loved screwing kids over with their God-like Power the State gives over them.
It got to the point where it was going to turn really bad and I would be posting this from prison, so we started Home Schooling.
Screw these "So-Called Educators", they are just a bunch of power trippin', Unionized, think they own the world narcissist that can not stand being confronted or called on their BS.
And I know there are very good Teachers out there, but they are caught up in the grind and are basically slaves to the system. So they become impotent in their ability to Educate and are nothing more than serf's for the Liberal Agenda.
It is broken and needs fixing, so Obamagog does the right thing and Cuts off Opportunity Scholarship Money to the school in DC,
WHERE HE WENT UNDER SCHOLARSHIP ....
What a Forward Thinking Guy .... you can't be a good Tyrannical Dictator if your "People" can "Think and Read for Themselves" now can ya ???
