I know it is simplistic, impolitic, unnecessary and counterproductive.

They don’t fire teachers – people do. The disruptions they create stem from the basic question of all management – who will decide? At current course and speed its clear that administrators will. It’s no surprise they tend to hold teachers solely accountable.

As this RFP suggests, the phrase remains an oxymoron rather than a description of reality on the ground, and so a worthy market.
