I don't care if it is the King of France teaching about cowardice, he should have to follow proper protocol.

. . . this would be him, if you're considering the Orleanist line to be the correct one:

Seriously, "proper protocol" has degenerated here into a system designed to suppress talent and ability and reward timeservers and the marginally competent. Think the Byzantine court or the Chancery of Dickens's time.

You can't support a procedure just because the system itself claims "proper protocol". Of course every bureaucratic system declares itself to be proper. You can't judge this by its own internal standard; that standard has become corrupt.

I'm earning my certificate to teach in CA and have to eat dirt daily from "master" teachers.... yeah, it is a drag. I can teach college no problem... but for some reason I am unable to teach high school....

I understand that the reasoning is to put up high barriers of entry to protect the incompetent baby boomers, but that is life.... you do what you must. Get in line.
