Reply #6: I left a school last year which was undergoing a 'transformation'.

[Chemisse]

They hired a new principal (which they needed to do anyway, since an interim had been there for two years and was anxious to retire). The man they hired had been fired from another school in the state, because THAT school was also doing a transformation which required firing their principal!

Word has it, this last year was sheer hell for the teachers, and my former students were loudly complaining as well. I've not asked for details.

I am very thankful I am at a new job now where the teachers are pretty well respected (dare I say appreciated?) by the administration.
