Hey, David, fellow educator, I have considered banging my head against something but stop because I realize I am already suffering from the actions of those folks who swear oaths and hastily work to ignore them on their own behalf and not on behalf of the people they swore to serve. They are great at making excuses an blaming, but doing the right thing is just beyond so many of them.
