Reply to comment by lurkingonya in Parents, students take issue with handling of violence at Medford High School: Students walked out of class on Wednesday to protest what they described as an unsafe learning environment. by TouchDownBurrito

school administrators are so desperately out of touch with how schools work that they do dumb shit like this survey. a girl did blackface when i was in high school and went viral and they showed us an “motivational video” during an assembly in response. i’m not surprised teachers are quitting, dumb shit like this wouldn’t make me want to work anywhere.

I think they lack the nuance needed to implement their vision of the organization in a pragmatic, effective way. I think there is a divide between the teachers and administration. Fearing the parents’ rage in PTA meetings, administrators push impractical, weak reprimands for violence, and teachers, fearing for their physical safety from the students allow things to occur so as to not fall victim to the unhinged students
