Administrators
The most important thing I have learned about working with my school administrators this past term/year is that their duties far exceed my own. Student disciplinary issues alone would overwhelm most of us. Scheduling issues, sports, parental concerns, staffing issues, substitutes, and budget problems are just a few of their daily concerns. I feel I am pretty good at multitasking, but I would not wish this position on anyone. Their dedication allows us to do what we do. Without these professionals there would be chaos. There day begins before ours, and often ends long after we are home. They are always available, at some point during the day for whatever arises. These professionals show us what ownership of our school is truly about. This is not a profession that works as a job or duty. Ownership is something to be proud of. If we are to instruct, what better example?
You are right their job exceeds anything I am assigned to doing. Handling the discipline along is a large issue. They are always available and flexible.
