someone with 16odd yrs in service. Reality is...does not matter. As lomg as your RO and SLs like you, you can be pushed up very quickly. Big sins can be forgiven. If they do not like you, smallest detail will kill.
Perfect eg....results are nt impt (national exams) if they like you....results are impt if they dont like you. Same for classroom management or anything you can think of. Sad but true
