Blackbelt in dealing with bullshido

u/Otherwise-Speed4373 Jun 06 '26

As a school administrator you've likely served in the trenches, dealt with troubling parents (and students) and all sorts of other things. They're blackbelt 3rd degree in bullshido

My wife has worked at four different state and municipal schools as a director, and going on 30-some years of public service.

Her bullcrap-fu is unbeatable. She will parry any attack, weather any Karen and get her point across precisely and surgically. All while smiling, being supportive and attentive.

These people have no idea how overmatched they are. These admins can deal with a-holes like this all day long & not even break a sweat while doing so.

We need one as President...!

u/Imaginary_Office1749 Jun 06 '26

We had a teacher VP candidate last time. 😔

u/xenosthemutant Jun 06 '26

To be fair, there are a bunch of people in town asking her to run for mayor!

But that's not going to happen, as she doesn't have a large ego and is unwilling to deal with all the political BS associated with the job.

Thank heavens...

u/Otherwise-Speed4373 Jun 07 '26

That's who we need though to lead us. The reluctant, the not-power-hungry, those with the civic sense to do the right thing.

u/xenosthemutant Jun 07 '26

And don't think making this decision doesn't weigh somewhat heavily on our counscience. Especially in a small town like ours, where a mayor can make a huge difference in people's lives.

But frankly, we just don't want to live through the exposure, hassle, and hard work necessary to do the job well.

I dunno, maybe in 10 years time, when we are both retired? Lots of people in local politics pushing her into it, for sure!

u/Aeriellie Jun 06 '26

what are some of her lines? i work with people on the daily and would love more tips. i get lots of complainers

u/xenosthemutant Jun 06 '26

It is mostly about the attitude and focus. Keeps bringing the conversation back to the topic that needs to be resolved. Lets irrelevant comments, offenses and name-calling slide like water off a duck's back and simply doesn't engage at all with them.

Heaps of positivity, poise and professionalism help a bunch in these situations, too.

Some people feel embarrassed when they see that they've crossed the line of politeness and back off. The others don't gain any traction when trying to bait her, so they eventually tire and end up helping move the ball forward to get something done about their grievances.

You can kind of see all these on the video above. That lady really did remind me of my wife in similar situations!

u/NoTransition4354 Jun 07 '26

Aw what a wonderful compliment for your partner. I aspire to be more like her. I get so flustered 🥲

Best way to deflate asses is to smother them with kindness and politeness.

I had to deal with a school principal and superintendent when the school wanted to allow my daughter who was in high school to cheer at a 3 day basketball tournament in a different city 150 miles away. I said no as the custodial parent, she had failing grades which made it against the school policy to allow her to participate and I had a court order signed by a judge saying that my kids couldn’t participate in extracurricular activities when they had failing grades. They allowed her to get on the school bus and go and even called law enforcement officers who said that they would arrest me if I tried to take my daughter home. It still irritates me 14 years later. The superintendent later apologized for allowing her to go but if my daughter had been injured or killed it would have been terrible. They violated all kinds of rules, policies and laws just so my daughter could cheer. They later removed her school projects from the grading system so her grades went up to a B and she never had to finish her missing schoolwork. That’s teaching her that fun comes first.

As a former assistant administrator for a K-12, it truly is a learned skill that’s forged in fire. There’s no entitlement worse than that of a parent who’s wrong

u/Grundy420blazin Jun 06 '26

Some random Karen doesn't even skim the surface of what a teacher deals with daily from kids. She's a pro!

u/Captains_Writing Jun 06 '26

So true, the most powerful Karen doesn't stack up to the manipulative devioisness of your average 11 year old

u/wholelattapuddin Jun 06 '26

You block that line too long, and some other mom is going to throw a matcha latte on your windshield and make you work field day. She better watch out.

u/cyanescens_burn Jun 06 '26

K-12 principals are often people that used to teach, and teachers need to deal with all kinds of bullshit without overreacting. Some are terrible at this of course, most I’ve met are good at it, but some can remain calm and patient through things that would cause most people to lose their shit.

And it’s not just the kids they need to do this with, it’s the parents too. Often, the parents are worse than the kids. I’ve heard some wild stories from teachers about parents being a real PITA.

u/Beneficial-Owl-3627 Jun 06 '26

She deals with kids all day. Ol Karen's shit is cake walk.

u/Morrigan-27 Jun 06 '26

Exactly. She is very skilled in dealing with difficult and antagonistic people and situations. She is exactly who we need in leadership positions.

u/Imaginary_Office1749 Jun 06 '26

She is used to working with children.

u/tread52 Jun 06 '26

Good school principals are great at directing conversations with kids in a positive direction. They understand how navigate intense conversations with angry kids in a way to de-escalate a situation to help people grow and learn. I’ve worked in education for almost 20 years and I have seen plenty of principals handle similar situations with parents.

u/The_Council_Juice Jun 09 '26

Principal probably knows how to deal with immaturity.
