What a school system! It just gets worse and worse.
For years we had assistant principals and principals supervising teachers in subject areas that they themselves never taught. How can you fairly evaluate a teacher if you never taught that subject?
It tales between 5-10 years to develop as a good classroom teacher. Nowadays, we make you an instant supervisor. You attend the Academy for Principals and presto you become a supervisor. There are no exams to take. Go to the academy and make the right contacts and you're heading a school. What a disgrace.
Thank the Lord that I retired. I would resent taking orders from someone who never or rarely taught. What could I and others possibly learn from such a person?
I heard of one story where a 24 year old person was made a principal of a high school. This person was asking teachers in the school what a shelter drill is.
The UFT should encourage teachers to challenge unsatisfactory observations if it can be shown that the person who observed you never taught that particular subject. Mr. Klein and his fellow gang of incompetents want accountability. This is a perfect example.
