Punch and Judy

Punch hits Judy, and Judy hits Punch, but in the end they are both puppets on the same puppeteers hands. Lausd and Utla are both bureaucracies far removed from the sphere of teaching. Similar to Politicians, the bureaucrats seem to be more concerned with keeping their positions than doing their jobs. It's almost like a law of Physics. Actually it is a law of physics.
They would have us believe it's us vs. them. Let's take to the streets and shout and wave our signs. But they are us. The administrators were all once teachers, as were most of the high ranking officials on both sides. Does a teacher cross a line and change their thinking? This is all nonsense. The truth is most bureaucrats are incompetent. A CEO can lose their company a billion dollars and still receive millions in bonuses. The last thing anyone needs is intelligent, competent, thoughtful people who are clearly more qualified than ourselves. Why they would put us all out of our jobs. (And make the world a better place). Well, we can't have that. Let's ensure that the schools fail. Look at the system and see if it isn't designed for failure.
