Victoria: abysmal educational managment and associated bullying and cronyism is the single greatest drag on teaching performance.

The single greatest drag on teaching performance is abysmal educational management and associated bullying and cronyism.

For decades, teachers who can't teach have been "promoted" out of the classroom into management - the inverse merit hierarchy.

These managers then employ people like themselves and bully out better qualified, better teachers to keep standards below their own.

From experience, the union doesn't lift a finger for teachers but big-notes with management.

Unless people understand the virulent bullying against tall poppy teachers by this abysmal bureaucracy, they don't know teaching.

Psychiatrists help education authorities escape liability in the lovely WorkCover system, showing exactly how little respect all parties have for mental health, fighting bullying victims until their health is completely destroyed.
