By comparison, other than higher granularity in response choices (i.e. in most cases five strengths of opinion, rather than two), I fail to perceive the material differences in the format, style, and tone of those questions as compared with those in the parent survey drafted by Ms. Crouch and finalized by Mr. Gegenheimer and the board. After reading his teacher survey, I find his concern with anonymity, frankly, hypocritical. That survey is clearly structured in such a way that anonymity is guaranteed for any teacher so inclined. Any questions within it that could be used to identify an individual are specified as optional.<br />The only “laughable” aspect to this entire situation is Mr. Gegenheimer’s inept, awkward, and ultimately obvious attempt to alienate the board and the teachers. I sincerely hope that the teachers come to understand that this selfish and petty man does not keep their interests in mind. He, apparently, keeps only his own.<br />Should the board continue to remain complicit in Mr. Gegenheimer’s deceitful behavior, the district, as a whole, will bear the brunt of the damage. The only clear indications for hope, at the moment, are those board members that refuse to kowtow to his demands and the fact that he will be retiring in a few years. The amount of damage he may be able to incur until the latter will depend largely upon the prevalence of the former.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431166689511896753noreply@blogger.com
