The learner is affected by the performance of their teacher – both inside and outside the classroom. This performance is influenced by numerous pressures, some of which stem from the Manager's daily personality, but also from the personality of the educational inspector who regularly visits the classroom. This places the teacher under a constant state of scrutiny until they prove their innocence.
Based on my experience within the educational system, the position of "educational inspector" is typically filled by individuals who are mentally ill, not just psychologically, but in a deeper sense. At best, the educational inspector is mentally ill to an advanced degree, requiring immediate intervention to save them and to protect teachers from their delusions, as well as to safeguard generations from their absurdities.
The educational inspector is an individual suffering from "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" (NPD), a chronic and pervasive condition in which the individual has an overwhelming self-love and a sense of grandeur. This is a condition that has been studied extensively by psychoanalysts, especially Freud.
The educational inspector visits the classroom unexpectedly, taking the teacher's position and using their office and materials. They parade around among the students as they please, asking questions to a selected student and interrupting the teacher as they see fit during lessons. After all this, the inspector denies the teacher their break periods – this happened to me personally – as if they own the teacher, or as if the teacher were a slave from their herd. They criticize, search for mistakes, and if no errors are found, they fabricate them out of nothing, even if trivial. They need to fill a report based on their emotional and mental issues towards the targeted teacher. For this reason, I see the visits of educational inspectors as merely a way to settle personal scores, nothing more.
The teacher must tolerate the mental illness of the educational inspector, especially since the Collins English Dictionary classifies narcissism as "an exceptional interest in oneself and admiration for oneself," which means an excessive self-love and an inflated ego, trying to show their imaginary abilities in an exaggerated manner. This is exactly what the educational inspector tries to demonstrate when they meet with the teacher or during educational seminars, especially in discussion sessions, which are often just opportunities for the inspector to put the teacher on trial with false accusations and lies, all just to feel superior to the teachers within the district they supervise. Many inspectors, even unknowingly, attribute the educational district to themselves, repeatedly saying "this is my district!" as if it were a personal property they inherited or bought with their own money.
The educational inspector carries an exaggerated sense of importance, believing that they are the core of the educational system, and that without them, education in the country would collapse. They delude themselves into thinking they are successful and powerful, which is why they use their administrative power in an arbitrary manner against the teachers. The best evidence of this is their periodic reports. They believe they are unique due to the sense of entitlement that grows in them as they attend all the ceremonies and events held within educational institutions, sitting on their ceremonial platforms. This makes them exploitative individuals who envy and do not empathize with teachers. They become purely arrogant, feeding off their arrogance and causing the teachers they work with much suffering and difficulty. All these symptoms are key components of the narcissistic personality, according to British consultant Tennyson.
As for treatment, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, according to the Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago, Brent Roberts, improves with age. Older individuals are less narcissistic than in their youth. However, practically speaking, a narcissist must undergo intensive therapy, which is very difficult since the narcissist believes the therapist is unimportant and that there is no value in speaking with them. This is exactly what happens when the teacher tries to correct some ideas for the educational inspector regarding teaching methods or dealing with students.
I propose abolishing the visits made by educational inspectors to teachers because these visits have nothing to do with education and teaching. Rather, they are personal vendettas between the inspector and teachers, whom the inspector sees as slaves who must make sacrifices for him. The inspector writes favorable reports for the teacher who follows his whims and writes critical reports for the teacher who does not meet his disturbed mood. The result is the loss of both the teacher and their students.
