Administrations love a good "study" as a way to push off what needs to be done as long as possible. Got to get all the stakeholders points of view, right?

Do admin love studies? I'm not sure you can really claim that. You need to do a study before you can say that.

Then we can do a deep data dive and realize our method had flaws, so a second, more comprehensive study is needed next year.

Not sure you want their job right now dude, but they need all the help they can get. You may want to send them an open letter.

This has been an ongoing problem. School administrators are in a tough spot yes of course but this is literally what they are there for. To administrate the school system in a way that allows for safe learning conditions. Safety is an absolute fundamental and should be one of the first focuses. If we can’t keep them safe, how can we expect children to actually retain any information? But no, they’d prefer to let things slide and just tough it out until the problem kids and their victims graduate and then the cycle begins anew
