Oh-No! Francis Ha, Imogene Duncan and Lena Dunham types have appointed themselves to manage our Social Studies department, run the department meetings and "guide" us in PLC’s! Of course, they teach AP, IB, and Honor’s classes, love TFA, are full of praise for Gates and Duncan, are excited by special treatment from The College Board, and are zealot believers in teaching the Common Core and full time standardized testing prepping. They honestly feel that writing DBQ's, learning how to read context, and deciphering POV in historical documents is a FUN way to learn and a useable skill in the REAL world. Our principal is ALWAYS promoting their virtues in faculty meetings and because they are able to bring home high test scores on AP exams, they buy into the hype of their "uniqueness" and have become bossy, eye rolling, rude to others, full of self importance, and socially snobby with "regular" class teachers.
Help! I am old and don’t know how to handle it without coming across as angry.
Is it too late for me?
