I would make a bad principle simply because nobody would be
suspended or anything similar to that punishment. I would educate those who
need help with discipline and model by example. I would have mercy on all
students and at the same time give them some type of consequence for their
action. I would definitely remove them from distracting the learning environment
and as a principle I would have to be the teacher and teach them the lesson or
hire someone designated to do that. They will learn the academic school lesson,
and at the same time to obey. I would be teaching during different hours,
whether it is morning tutorials, or afterschool, and delegate other
administration duties to assistant principals, etc. I would promote lifelong learning
and education so that everyone grows a hunger for it to improve. Who doesn’t
want to get stronger, faster, and smarter? Maybe this system is discouraging
and will not work. I would make a terrible principal. I am not a principal.
I make a bad authority figure. Some say that it’s hard to
take me serious, but I say it’s hard not to take me serious if they only knew what
I have to offer them. I bring a lot to the table. Experience, loyalty, and
champion are written all over me. You have to take me serious even if I’m
joking with you because if you don’t then you are the joke. Nobody wants to be
a “scrub”, do they? After all, 95% of discipline issues come from people who
want attention, so I don’t think they impress anybody with rachetness . When you demand attention you act up, talk back,
become an unpleasant class clown, and you defeat the purpose of the attention
that you’re trying to attain. I would strongly advise you to take me serious
because I may know something that you don’t know that you are desperately and
secretly are seeking to obtain. My
methods are concrete. You’re not going to stop the sun from shining. The night
doesn’t last as long as the day. I’m trying to make an important point here. Be
the day, light, shine, that people look forward to seeing and being a part of
and at the same time dreaming about at night.
Do my methods work? Probably not, but they’re justifiable.
Do your methods work? Probably not, but they’re justifiable
right?
Whatever you do, do it with a smile (positive attitude) and
it magically works. This is what college teaches all educators: If you believe
it works, then by golly it works. Sell your product. Additionally for any
doubters, if it aint broke, don’t fix it.
If you need to go to war, I’m going with you. AND WE WILL
WIN.
