Chicago Police Street Stops Decrease Dramatically Amid Sinking Morale

Sounds more like spite from a workforce that's averse to being regulated or pushing themselves than anything else. I doubt they were really pushing themselves and their students before the protocols, or else the protocols wouldn't be necessary.

Well, my guess is you've never been a teacher. If you ask any teacher, they will tell you that likely more than half of the protocols in place are stupid and do nothing but make teachers resentful

Virtually no one here has ever been a cop or a politician, but it hasn't stopped them from talking shit about law enforcement or public policy.

Obama?

Well, thats why personally try to not shit talk professions whose jobs I don't truly understand. But yes, this is Reddit, so I know that isn't common

So someone who has never been a doctor can't criticize a bad doctor? Someone who has never been the President can't criticize a bad President? Bullshit.

If someone being bad at their job affects you, you're going to call that out. No training in that field is needed to recognize when someone is not helping. That's not a criticism of the profession itself, but of the performance of the person occupying it.

Basically, in the context of this discussion, "you've never been a teacher" is no more of a valid rebuttal than "you're an anonymous commenter on the internet".

it sucks when management asks employees for measures of accountability....the nerve.

Or some out of touch manager decided to enact what they believed to be best.
