My last principal's first word of advice was to be sure,
when it took two sheets of roll paper to cover a display board,
to put the lower sheet on first. Another wanted the blinds
in the rooms at the same height. No wonder kids don't learn
if people concern themselves with such minuscute that
has so little impact. A colleague phoned me hoping to restrict
the amount of bonus bucks we would give the kids for
parent conferences. She was worried that a student might
be rewarded by more than one teacher. I held back my
laugh and informed her I had made a commitment to my
students and had to honor it. Heaven forbid if we reward
them too much. The whole educational system might collapse.

       I'm from Kansas,  where the Legislature and BOE keep trying 
        to define the term "suitable" because our constitution requires
          the state provide a "suitable" education for all students
                      Only Kansas is flat, not the entire planet.
