Katy: I had a great substitute teacher. So what's the big deal. Clayton: If the administration gets ahold of her, they'll try to break her spirit. Katy; They wouldn't! Clayton: They would! Katy: Oh, I hate bureaucracy! Clayton: Me, too. Right up there with bureaucrats.

I have a couple of favorite teachers, but many more that I didn’t like.

Look out. Since Nov. 6, there’s lots more coming to an administration building near you.

Yes, the parents have to do their share, but they can only do so much. And as long as teacher’s unions fight to prevent the administration from firing anybody, even when they’re clearly incompetent, the parents (and students) are stuck unless the family can afford to put them in a private school where they can demand that their children get the education they’re paying for. (How many teachers let their own kids go to a public school? Damned few, I gather.)

I can speak from experience: Your school can have the greatest subs in the world, who can actually achieve rapport with the kids and get them to do stuff beyond makework, work with faculty to keep their kids on track — and all it takes is one administrator with a bug up his @$$ to screw it all up. My wife and I used to be such subs until one — JUST ONE, mind you — assistant principal decided we were too good and had us run off.
