I am a science teacher and one year we got a new principal. He micromanaged everything and everyone! In the past I did a few labs that had food in them. He sent out an email stating that if science teachers want to do labs that had food, that we must send him a detailed lesson plan. I don't mind if the principal wanted to know why we did the lab and how it fits into the concepts we are teaching but a detailed lesson plan? I don't have a problem with rules but he was the type that didn't have an open door policy, it's my way or the highway type of administrator.
Cue my passive aggressive side, I sent him 20 page lesson plans (I am really good at bs'ing educational jargon). And every lab that I could find that had food in it, I did it that year! He did make my solar cooker completion impossible, which killed me because I had gotten grant money from a major leader in the engineering field the year before for the same exact project.
He ended up having so many grievances filed against him. It was a great day when he finally left!
