[quote=BernDog]A good administrator was an effective teacher and had the desire to have a positive impact on the entire school, and usually have clear-cut ideas of exactly what they'd like to do. The word "principal" actually originally meant "principal teacher". Every administrator should have at least some classroom contact on at least a weekly basis. Teach a single class, or just sub occasionally.
Or at least drop in on a class occasionally. :devil:
I've had principals where there would be some sort of announcement to see "Mrs. So-and-So" for more information, or something like that, and the kids had absolutely no idea who that was. Not exaggerating, and it's happened with multiple administrators.
