Ooh, here's a comment that cuts both ways:
If we give you advice, don't fight it. Take it, and digest it in the same way you would consider advice from a doctor or lawyer.
And if we're playing Spot the Contradiction, I submit these:
I feel so sorry for administrators and teachers these days whose hands are completely tied. In many ways, we live in fear of what will happen next. We walk on eggshells in a watered-down education system where teachers lack the courage to be honest and speak their minds.
We just ask -- and beg of you -- to trust us, support us and work with the system, not against it.
