Feeling annoyed...

I don't understand how certain people get positions of great power, when in fact, they don't know the first thing about being a leader. It's so frustrating to see all this superficial stuff going up in our school because we are having a blue ribbon visit. I mean, our "leader" painted over a mural that has been in the building for 20 + years just because SHE didn't like it. She hung these HORRIBLE 1987 pictures that are airbrushed, yes you heard me correctly, airbrushed with fluorescent colors. Hello, hideous. Plus, the skills on it aren't even ones we teach. Here's a thought...It's a school, why not fill that space with STUDENT WORK?? I don't know, maybe that'll work.

Then she tells us that next year we're going to have to host a board meeting. This is a HUGE dog and pony show that is a waste of time and money. Over $20,000 will be wasted for the stupid board officers to have a meeting in our building. Here's a new thought, why not have the board visit a school when we are actually teaching? Wouldn't that make more sense? And then have the stupid meetings at the $1.5 million dollar IRC that we wasted, I mean used our bond money on a few years back...

Love my job, I love the kids, but you can take all this other horseshit and shove it. I just want to teach! UGH! OK, I'm done!
