This school is the slimiest place and it starts right at the TOP.
The "big wigs" would do any thing,anything , to be the one to come out on top. They are doing sneaky underhanded things to one another which in essence is wasting money,energy that should be funneled toward productive ends with the students.

To the selfish , ruthless,cut throat people at the top of the hierachy ..i say
What about the kids? What about some respect shown toward the teachers who have to put up with the hissy fights amongst the administration.

Fighting amongst administration is the underlying of a sinister atmoshere within the school. It's created a cut throat feel instead of a supportive one. It is not an easy place to work given the challenges within the area, and support from the administration is really what the staff needs, NOT constant quibbling and belittling of each other and the teachers.
