As of now, it appears that the only group who still respects administration is the teachers. This could be because they have to observe us teaching, write recommendations, renew or non-renew us, etc. Students don't respect admin because they know that admin do not enforce consequences, and parents do not respect admin because they know admin cares more about appearances and not losing their jobs instead of doing what is best for the learning environments in the classroom. So this leaves just the teachers who have respect for admin, or at least, "show" respect to admin, but I see this changing...... Many teachers, including myself, are fed up with the lack of accountability and the lack of consequences for atrocious student behavior. We are sick of hearing the same rhetoric from admin about "classroom management", "building relationships" and all of the typical noise that comes from admin in order to place the blame back on the teachers instead of doing what admin is supposed to do and that is-----enforce consequences when teachers discipline. This is a big reason why so many teachers are leaving the profession, and not just leaving, but doing so in the middle of the school year. Once teachers lose respect for admin and start to show that lack of respect, the education system is over. This is not an attack on admin. I just see foresee this happening. submitted by /u/ericashaw2020 [link] [comments]
