Many principals are insufficiently
trained to evaluate teachers reliably (even though it's a key part of their jobs) and
tend to rate their teachers higher than outside observers do to avoid difficult conversations, a problem called «building
bias.»
Psychologist MHPs
tend to be
trained to recognize and be rather publicly self - conscious [96] about acknowledging their own
biases, but unfortunately many times this only results in absurd overcorrecting to the point at which they are in fact unable to exert common sense to make decisions or judgments that comport with generally accepted ideas about what is normal or healthy, or even what's realistically workable for the everyday lives of the individuals in question (except, of course, if those ideas have been placed into the popular discourse by the trade associations themselves, or happen to serve the MHP's own agenda).
