There is much conflict the John Bennett faces with his job. As mentioned before, he is both a teacher and part of the administration. John's struggle is with delegating certain responsibilities and disciplinary actions to his fellow teachers. Having new administrative duties means that it is now his job to worry about logistics and numbers when it comes to learning and producing certain; where as before it was to simply teach and follow the state guidelines. Now that it is his responsibility to do all of the above, John is faced with a more stressful work load. John has told me about certain situations involving teachers where he has to reprimand them for not following certain regulations, and as a result there is now a strained colleague relationship. However, it is now his responsibility to ensure that teachers are performing to produce a certain outcome for their students.
