Can a school get any more dysfunctional than this?
Description
Happy World Mental Health Day! Given that we’ve got 24 hours to focus on mental health the world over, I thought I’d offer a bonus episode for TTE’s paid subscribers. This one celebrates the day by sharing a story of an unbelievably dysfunctional school administration. A story that might sound sadly familiar to some of you.
But it’s not just a story of dysfunction! This episode offers suggestions for busting through the bullshit in which mentally unwell administrators can steep their employees. You might have a wacko running your school, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do something.
You’ll hear me
* define “defensiveness” and “aggression” in ways that might surprise you
* suggest ways to address accusations that are meant to shut you down
* talk about scapegoats in schools
* offer some advice to assholes
