Covid affects everyone differently. Other than what I think was it in Dec of ‘19, I’ve never tested positive for it (knock on wood). But my...
I think this is in particular because of ADHD but there’s always a danger of detours trying to get from a to b. What I mean is this: start in the...
I think Technology has definitely made it worse, but I firmly believe it’s always been an issue. At my previous school as a VP, there was a near...
Our first day was Wednesday and it was pretty much exhausting like yours! Well first thing, had a teacher quit on me. Literally threw her badge...
First parent I spoke to this morning, she was an older lady but still acted pretty spry. I had offered her a bottle of water, which she accepted,...
So one of the things that as the new principal for my high school I’ve been working on is improving the school’s relationship with parents....
I mean that makes more sense. Maybe I was thinking about it in a bad way.
One thing I find odd about this school that I haven’t really encountered is teachers being required to submit x amount of grades before Friday....
It’s a really tough line to walk, and there is a fine balance you have to try and keep. Do you risk larger class sizes from not hiring? Or do...
I honestly don’t really see what difference a reference letter from someone I don’t know makes. For all I know, that could be your uncle.
Not sure where you’re getting the letters from, unless it’s just a general statement which I agree. My district doesn’t “require” them, but...
So with that statement, I don’t think he was speaking literally French or Greek, but rather more so like the phrase “it’s all Greek to me”. But...
Ended up hiring two more people so that’s not too bad. We’ve got a couple more in the morning so I’m hoping I can go ahead and wrap this up....
I’m not “desperate”, per se. If push comes to shove I can’t fill this slots well, I’ll go to plan B and make do with what I do have. Even if I...
It’s barely ten thirty in the morning and we’ve already done six interviews for math teachers. Four of them seemed incompetent. Like I hate...
So I’m very thankful that our district is very relaxed and basically just have the bare minimum as far as dress code guidelines go. Then passes...
We had the whole dress code conversations at my new school this week. Apparently the principal before me was super strict about it. I had sent...
Inadvertently becoming an expert on construction engineering. So construction is underway at the high school (that I’m now principal at and I’m...
If I may, one thing I’d suggest is to examine your eating habits. My sister has had a lot of success doing the Keto diet. It’s a high fat,...
I’m so glad school is out for the year. School board meeting went well and we broke ground at the new high school last Friday.
