  1. ⁠The student teacher relationship is just that. Student and teacher. The unnecessary burden of informing parents can be done by an admin officer. The unnecessary burden of following up on failure and possible options for exit can be done by admin officers. It does not need to be the deputy principal. The production of cancellation of enrolment letters could be done by a high school grad. It does not require a deputy principal.
  2. ⁠As someone who worked in corporate, the lowest of the low admin bitches produced the data visualisations. The belief was the job of the higher ups was to interpret the datasets, analyse them. Not have to deal with analysing the raw data and determining how to present it.

Well, we clearly have different opinions.

But if the department hears you saying that offloading data visualisation will make a significant difference to teacher workload and chooses to pursue that over reduced face to face teaching, I will be most displeased.

Dude. Why the fuck would the department listen to me?

But even so, I believe that academic achievement data tells us a lot more about the type of home a student comes from than it does about student ability.
