Every teacher, student, and parent wants to see some sort of humanity in the principal of there school.
You are so good at understanding your students-and it shows in your writing. You are also so good at understanding people. Maybe your principal needs to see the film!

Occasionally, one the likes and merit of a Ron Stone can sneak in where all hope (and candidates) have long fled. Leaders who are genuinely concerned are rare, the work is thoroughly exhausting, routinely thankless and frequently deleterious to one’s own health.

On occasion, we’ll laud their effort, write a book or make a movie even- tomorrow we resume testing…
