Stupid in America

[Hoofhurr]

Of course Blhurr, because, quite frankly, you have no clue what goes on here so it makes complete sense to hit the restart button.

Alright, well, if not knowing your exact situation precludes me from discussing the topic in general then why bring up your specific situation here at all? Assuming I can at least rationally talk about things I might not have the details on I'll take a shot anyway.

They've got two choices here. Fire everyone and hope the competent ones reapply, or fire everyone and try to force all the competent ones to reapply. The competent ones always have options every year, and for whatever reason, choose to come back. All they are doing now is making it harder for the competent ones to come back.

Can we at least assume their strategy has worked in multiple schools or they wouldn't be trying this method on new schools? If that's the case then maybe they are willing to risk losing established competent new teachers to possibly turn the school around. Maybe teacher competency isn't the only criterion for a successful school. Perhaps a willingness to go with the direction of the administration is also important and established, unflinching albeit competent teachers are a barrier to that?

Let me ask you a question Blhurr. If you just got kicked in the balls, whether they meant to kick you in the balls or not, would you reapply for your old position if you thought things were gonna be worse, and if you didn't have to?

Of course not. You won't see me take a crotch shot and stand tall. Even being grazed in the balls makes me drop to the floor in a futile bid to ease my pain.
