Admin

The most important thing I have learned about my administrators this semester is......"and this too shall pass"! :-) Ok, I guess I could give them a little bit of a break. I know it is very difficult to meet every one's needs all the time. I know first hand since my own parents were administrators. My father is still an elementary school principal, so I understand the pressure they receive from above. However, with that said, I do believe there is a right way and a wrong way to approach people and situations. I think this semester has really reinforced my belief in treating people how I would like to be treated. I take what people say with a grain of salt and tuck those experiences in the back of my brain....I just remember how I felt when things were going bananas and vow to never make anyone else feel that way.

  1. I know what you mean. I have a principal who is an absolute disaster from a diplomatic standpoint. He puts both feet in his mouth each time he opens it. All the AP's tell us to follow their lead and just nod when he speaks. It seems to work pretty well. He does not know how others should be treated by leadership but thankfully his assistants are well equipped to compensate for his shortcomings. Maybe he will get promoted to the Board soon. Isn't that how it usually works?
