Corporate Animal 1

The school scenerio is similar to that of the corporate world, made up of different types of animals with their instincts intact most of the time.

The more docile 'animal' will always be bullied, eaten and swallowed by the fiercier ones in the name of corporate ascent. These fierce animals could easily hide it behind a false front aided by fiercier ones on top of the ladder eg school leaders.

Coporate animal 1 : Raven

The raven is despised by many. It is black and ugly looking and is known to be a greedy member of the crow family.
In school, the raven is usually a middle level teacher like Subject head or level head or Head of department who is usually very unforgiving of any errors which compromise him in any way. He/she will greedily mop up any remain of a teacher who is in trouble, a despicable person and there are many around in the staff room.
