Not only did many teachers give my admin a great rating for collaboration, which is not true, because they didn't want to piss her off, the a-kissers actually went around school talking about teachers they felt gave negative ratings.

It's interesting that these same people are the ones who started the joke...
What's "admin's" favorite word?
NO!

It's amazing to me how hypocritical teachers and principals are. No one should work in an atmosphere of fear, so truth is put on the back burner. Whoever said the truth will set you free wasn't a teacher.

Shocking that Ravitch would feel that way, considering her animus for Klein. I guess we're supposed to believe her subjectively analyzed anecdote rather than the data from the anonymous survey. Oh yeah, I forgot, the government agents who covered up Roswell have been contracted (no bid, of course) by Klein to perpetuate an anti-principal conspiracy... who needs Occam's Razor when we have Diane Ravitch?

Wow. You learn something new everyday. I didn't know that Socrates was on Klein's/Bloomberg's payroll....

I'm not surprised the principals are feeling it too. It must be awful to have to put on that happy smile every day and pretend to support all Bloomklein's meaningless programs. At least teachers can publicly express their opinions.
