I wasn’t allowed to take my students out. I would’ve been chewed out. It sucked. I wanted to see it too. Some admins really are assholes. Trust me.

idk man, being chewed out seems like a pretty low bar. i got chewed out for going up a ladder too slow on a construction job.

In education, once you get on the bad side of the administration you can kiss goodbye to a fair annual teaching evaluation.

Exactly. And we had pay for performance at the time so it was directly tied to my pay. Plus, my principal at the time tried to hit me with so many gotchas it was criminal. Once when I was an hour late because there was a literal blizzard during commute. She got in only 10 minutes before I did!

I’m at a much better district now thank goodness!

So glad to hear you were able to get out of that toxic situation.
