Disgusted

I'm sick of my job. This isn't teaching, it's pushing paper and CYA. Someone else did something which generated a huge amount of paperwork for me, and I've spent countless hours trying to get it done in a way that doesn't get us sued. It doesn't happen overnight, especially when the other participants in the process refuse to participate. It's bad enough I have to lie in the paperwork about why these things are going on. I'm not also going to lie and say I've talked to people when I didn't. Hopefully, this stuff won't be questioned, because if it is, I'll have to fall back on the Nuremberg defense: I was following orders. Meanwhile, I'm catching flack because it wasn't done on someone else's timetable. What any of it has to do with teaching, I don't know. I changes nothing in the classroom. We're drowning in this crap and I, for one, have no wish to continue in this job. It's time to shift into another area of teaching.
