Enabling School Districts is the Name of the Game

While it is nice to know NEA Today acknowledges there is such a thing as massive bullying of teachers in the workplace, the "unions" and "associations" don't do squat about it. More often than not they aid and abet it.

THAT is the dirty secret they don't teach you in ed school. They don't teach you that far more than private sector or other government sector work, the administrator has all the power while workers have none whatsoever. Administrative law is so full of holes it is flouted by school districts with impunity. "Unions" or "associations" make sure teachers don't know about EEOC, DOL, or fail to point to teachers in the direction of filing state or federal lawsuits so they can still have a place at the table with the district crooks.

A teacher from Augusta, Maine, was so traumatized by her principal and superintendent that she didn’t want her name or school mentioned, but wanted to share her story because she believes the pervasive problem of workplace bullying has gone on unchecked for too long.

“I am sufficiently frightened enough by my former employers to fear that maybe they could still hurt me,” she says. “I need to get a new job but won’t be able to do so if I am unable to receive even one recommendation from an administrator. I know it and so do they.”

Here's that article mentioned about workplace bullying in schools.
