Campbell Brown's Law
On the other hand, I've been at meetings where we brainstormed ways to pass everyone. It was ridiculous. Nonetheless, when you instigate a culture in which you close schools based on test scores, in which you send teachers out as wandering subs, Campbell's Law says corruption will ensue.
But Campbell Brown's law is different. Campbell Brown's Law says whatever goes wrong in school is the fault of the tenured teachers. If you fail, it's because the teacher had tenure and therefore failed. Absolutely everyone is a great parent, and that has nothing to do with how children behave. Campbell Brown's Law says parents have no influence whatsoever on their children. If parents have to work multiple jobs to make ends meet, that will have no effect. If they provide no supervision because they aren't around, that won't affect kids either.
Campbell Brown's Law says kids themselves are not responsible either. If they don't study, that isn't their fault. The teacher should have made them study. If they fail tests because they didn't study, it's a crime and the teacher should be fired. Under Campbell Brown's Law the only obstacle to that is if the teacher has tenure. This is unacceptable and it is therefore the reason that the parents work 200 hours a week. It's NYC Educator: Campbell Brown's Law:
