* The stark reality of the role, scraped from Reddit, Blind, and anonymous career boards.
"I've always felt like growth mindset was another tool administrators use to gaslight teachers into having better attitudes about being overworked and having their classroom challenges dismissed."
"Typically used to justify a below-market compensation. If you want a fair package, you’re not in the “growth mindset” enough."
"My 'Principal Growth Mindset Enabler' just told me that asking for a raise after hitting all my KPIs shows a 'fixed mindset' about my value. Apparently, true growth means accepting less."
