She has names for the teachers and administrators also, including one type called – I Gotcha’s. A description she gives for those who go out of their way to make sure kids were sometimes placed in a no way out/no win situation in order for the adult to be right… which made her wonder why the police were not at the credit union on teacher payday to arrest them for stealing money they had not earned. Imagine that!
