School administrators that I work with have a philosophy: If you throw enough hoops in front of people they will eventually get tired of jumping and go away. Thus you will not need to do anything but have your secretary shuffle some paperwork.
This was set off by three girls sitting in the school office writing “statements”. I have no idea what the issue was. I did not know the girls. Someone said, “You girls look like you are having too much fun writing those statements”. Truer words have not been spoken. The girls got out of class. They got attention. The school feels like they are “doing something”. Nothing happens. Everyone is happy.
Hoop based administration. It is not coming to a school near you. It has already arrived. It is in charge.
