Poem: “Sonnets from the Portuguese, #23” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning 

Statement of the Whole: Would a teacher’s life be better or worse if Administrators disappeared from the Earth?  So begins a lively repartee between Jason and Steve, both of whom currently divide time at their respective schools between teaching and administrative duties.  Why do we need such people?  How are their duties best attended to?  If an administrator holds a faculty meeting in the woods, will teachers still have to come?  Join us for these and many more compelling questions.
