The second part is teacher evaluation based on administrative plans. Why is it that very few are able to move up? It’s not about education but preferences and politics. Perhaps there are PD for admins but I never knew of any. We are divided morally. There is no one single answer. However, there is the philosophy of “until you walk a mile in my shoes…”. We might consider curriculum development at the higher levels of education. We need correlation among education, application, and stakeholders.

Oh yeah, discipline. What do you do when a child throws a chromebook on the floor and tells the teacher they don’t care because his their taxes paid for it? What do you do when a child takes a gun to school for show-and-tell? When is a cell phone an emergency tool? Perhaps after the show-and-tell, parent’s sense of pride in gun ownership, teachers not having adequate PD, and inadequate security because such things are unexpected. Once everyone acknowledges the importance, importance based on reality, of education, we can begin with respect for education. The reason we have or not have is because of education. Reforms should focus on responsibility and consequences for ALL stakeholders. Then and only then will we see changes in discipline. I’ll focus on social and news media in my next book.
