Frustration

[zebraman]

Hang in there and just play along for now. After you've established yourself (and you will if you merit it.... the assignor(s) will get feedback from partners and those observing you during the year), maybe you can work on making this association stronger. Not only stronger in finding better interpreters and clinicians, but also a stronger board that wouldn't let their "clinicians" that teach ignorance.

When I first joined my association about 9 years ago, there were some officials that had been around a while that weren't very knowledable or good. However, it seemed that everyone was afraid to straighten them out. We've changed things now and our board and veteran officials are not afraid to correct an official (or even an assignor) when they give an incorrect ruling or mechanic. We've created a culture where people generally look things up first before shooting from the hip about something they "think they know" or "heard from someone else."
