Today our department received word from our principal that we are responsible for decorating the bulletin boards in our hallway in order to prevent the currently blank boards from having more graffiti written on them. We have been directed that we have until January 23rd to decorate these bulletin boards. Furthermore, the assistant principal in our building will be "checking the progress."
I, for one, am unclear as to why hallway decor is a teacher-responsibility. In this day when teachers are held accountable for student achievement (and perhaps rightly so), I find it a bit ironic that teachers can focus our time and energy on decorating bulletin boards, while an assistant principal who faces virtually no accountability for student achievement can "check our progress."
The even greater irony is the same day that I received this directive to decorate bulletin boards in the hallway, I participated in a "fireside chat" with Mary Easley, the First Lady of North Carolina, who extolled the importance of teachers today: You are what enables North Carolina to stay competitive in the global economy, she said.
