Or allowing for students demands for ridiculous things. Or allowing politics to enter the classroom and then alter history and/or how work is graded, or corrected. I honestly have zero idea of how much any of that truly happens out there, but I do see it happening. And the main reason I hate it, is that it makes me wonder what our country will look like in 100-200 years in the classroom, and how much history will have changed in their text books, and how much of politics will have changed education and how things are taught.
I told my daughter recently if I had her job I'd quit and join the Marine Corps. Less bullshit and bureaucracy.
I survived that. I'd have already gone off on multiple idiots just this school year if I was a teacher.
