2019 has been my worst year to journal since I started. This is only my 23rd entry for the year.
This week was eventful at work. Licensing did a surprise visit in the PreK classrooms and I sent one of my students into the room during the evaluation.
The licensing person said it was against Ohio code and therefore put the class out of ratio.
I researched the code and could not find if that even exists. The licensing person misused the code and the class was still in fact in ratio. I sent an email to the director of early childhood education in the district to question the non compliance. The director showed up at the school Friday and met with me.
It's another nail in the coffin of my worldview. I try not to become cynical and remain hopeful that justice does prevail but time and again I find that a perfect system run by imperfect or corrupt people doesn't work.
The perfect car if fueled by sugar won't run.
The same is true for the many systems put in place in our world. The people with the power have pride. And the people, whether right or not, at the bottom must oblige that delicate pride or else the top can make life difficult. None of this at all having to do with right and wrong legality or justice.
I've seen the pride of the powerful at work when I worked for a church with a figurehead. I've seen it in that same building as a preschool teacher with licensing. And even now in the public school system.
Even with our current president. Justice, fairness, and legality is conditional and that is wrong.
