Setting The Bar Low

Summary:

Mr. Rice discusses in his blog post on how administrators are setting the bar low, instead of setting the bar high at his school. He states that when he was evaluated by administrators, they didn’t have a great deal of positive or negative feedback that Mr. Rice was hoping for. He says that he is a perfectionist and would be the first to score his self harshly.

Response: 

I told Mr. Rice that I was stunned that administrators at his school would want to set the bar low. As a future educator, you would think that the bar would be set high for students, teachers, and administrators. I thanked Mr. Rice for sharing his blog post!
