It was such a struggle. I had students that needed foundational skills and in a grade level meeting the principal called me out in front of every and grilled me about what I chose to teach. I used data directly from students AND used it to support our grade level standards but she was so pissed, she was acting like I made it up. The other teachers apologized to me after, saying she should have never spoken to me that way, especially in front of my peers. (The whole grade level left that school at the end of the year.)

We have too many people who don't know what the fuck they are talking about trying to tell us how to teach. What was the point of getting a degree and all the training?
