you need to worry about all of the threads on k.12.chat.teacher.

Well, they just need to be sure they don't get that "Rick Fey's"
dander up by disagreeing. If they do, he might try to harrass them
and call them some insulting nickname for about, say, 7 years.

And, in the same thread that he complains about certain someones not
being nice, he might also brag about getting his female principal to
cry at faculty meetings.

Oh, come on now Julnar. Don't tell me you haven't thought, from time to
time, about making your principal's life a living hell. After all, the
principal has the power to make your life a living hell, why not turn the
tables?


Thought? Sure. But I can honestly say-- I can even swear-- that I
never tried to make anyone's life a living hell, not a principal's or
anyone else's. I don't think it's right and even if it were, I know
it's counterproductive. You don't play power games if you're smart,
least of all when you are at a natural disadvantage, and LOA when it
can mean you will be trapped in with the very principal you despise.
Adults don't solve their problems at work by playing those games.

Sure, I used to think the voices of rebellion were signs of courage
but I soon noticed that those who shouted loudest were the laziest,
most fossilized, most useless teachers we had. The ones truly
dedicated to student learning did not create spectacles of meetings or
play power politics with whatever idiot was in charge. Think about
it. The bully crowd at his school, the one he is apparently so proud
to be ringleader of, may well comprise the school's untransferrable
teachers. If you want to lose your shot at ever reaching greener
pastures, be like him. Being like him could get you the sort of rep
you might never shake, to the point where other principals won't give
you a chance.

Anyway, Kleyle is a bully by nature. If he weren't squawking about
me, he'd find someone else to squawk about.

Who's doing the squawking? And the jumping to peculiar conclusions?
