It Simply Doesn't Matter

No matter how well documented these complaints are, and I am referring to the first link here where the teacher has documented continued bullying by a principal, nothing will happen to him. It's because of the top-down, authoritarian style of management in public education, and the fact principals are heavily unionized, that makes it virtually impossible to remove a principal from a school district. Once one becomes a school principal, he or she has a job for life for all intents and purposes.

Teachers don't have a prayer in this rigged system. The teacher basically wasted her time typing 19 pages. She apparently believes she can get this principal removed if only she complains enough and to the "right" people. But knowing what I know about schools and administrators, it is simply an exercise in futility. Somebody higher up the school district ladder appointed this moron, and this person will be damned if his or her reputation will be sullied by meting out discipline to somebody he or she appointed. The teacher will lose her job long before any principal does.
