My school system has hired an outside survey company to gain an understanding of its employees’ perspectives.
At a called, after-school meeting yesterday, teachers were advised that the survey takers would remain anonymous and that our honest answers were coveted.
Then my principal checked his notes and added–and restated several times–that we should also remember that the results of the survey would be “affordable information” and would probably end up in the newspaper and all over Facebook.
A teacher piped up: “I’m only going to say positive things,” he said.
