    Yes...a school vice-principal. We had a mutual dislike for each other. In fact NONE of the teachers liked him. He was on a power trip and had never taught before. When I encountered him I just played the "When the fox gnaws...smile." role. It was kinda fun as I refused to retaliate.

    That must have been hard as he ** to pull off Ele! He had authority/power over you I expect. I wonder why obnoxious folks rise to positions of authority. Did they have obnoxious mentors who thought they were great? Glad you survived it. Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday! :)

  • It is often prudent and may fall under such guises as keeping a job, making a grade or it may be motivated out of fear.

    I agree with all your points whistle. It isn't an ideal situation to be sure and it's made more difficult if such a person has
    authority/power over you. AARRGGHH! Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday! :)
