Trying To Deal With The Insanity

I would assume we have all processed the meaning of repeating a behavior and expecting a different result.

I have often heard that "hiring from with-in" rewards those who have sacrificed for so many years for the system. One argument could be made that those years within the system molded one's thinking into being similar to those who do the promoting. Sort of like a seniority system for like-minded individuals. Survival of the system is goal one.


I found the discussion between the blog host Dennis and the "physics teacher" quite interesting.


From the Trenches of Public Ed.: Needed: good principals with real power:

"In teaching, I talk to quite a few career switchers such as myself and all of them feel underappreciated, disrespected, and underpaid. How can one not burn out when your boss, a decade younger and ignorant, talks to you as though you were born yesterday? How can you not burn out when there is no mechanism for you to defend yourself or rebut their statements? How can you not be glad there's a union who might pay for a lawyer that you could never afford yourself?"
