Hello and thanks for your article. First is what to do to counter corporate insidiousness (more report, constant witch hunting and what you say about results — more time spent, more tutoring, etc…); the second concerns your gender approach. It may be right. But what is happening, to my great distress, is that when women are leading, it is very much the same ballgame. I have taught in a private school owned by private investor (seeking profit not teaching quality) and run entirely by women from principal to academic supervisors, to marketing, to business directors, and I have to say that I have never seen a more obtuse, cruel and inefficient school in my life. The degree is such that out of a staff of 70 secondary teachers, 30 left or were fired. One teacher, a white male, was fired in part because he did not smile enough and didn’t project the kind of positivity that the school requires. So there you are. Women are not better than men when it comes to bullying others, or creating atmospheres of sheer terror. I therefore think that gender does not correlate with improvements and quality. The real question is what are we to do, what can we do to stop this trend (increased by technology by the way)?
