- Don't ask questions you already know the answer to.
- Never whine about decisions that have already been made.
- Don't ask hypothetical questions in order to find a loophole.
- Don't call a meeting if emailing the meeting agenda would be just as effective.
- Don't call a meeting to tell people what they already know.
- Don't ask questions that are answered in the meeting agenda.
- Don't hog the chips.
- Maintain a positive attitude (or fake one if you have to): remember that you're not the only one who doesn't like meetings.
- NEVER waste everyone's time by asking personal questions that only apply to you.

9 hands raised:
#10/ Always have an excuse to leave or adjurn a meeting early.
#11/ Schedule all dental and medical appointments for those days that you know you'll have meetings.
Dad.
Aha! Good ones!
Maybe you ought to feel sorry for all those for whom the meeting is easily confused with their social life!! Mom
Obviously, you are not going to climb the ladder of administrative staff, you have to much common sense to become an administrator. Those who can teach teach those who can't administrate.
#12 never be serious at a meeting and have a very good relationship with your school grievence committee...
#13 Look deeply into the eyes of the administrator at meetings nodding head to slow cadence coinciding with your heartbeat think of pleasent times during summer vacation and if you are called upon say nothing that will increase your already overwhelming workload. At the end of said meeting pretend you heard your name called by another teacher near the exit and quickly remove yourself from the scene.
#14 Check on tenure and behave accordingly...
hahahaha!
