[quote=Anonymous]You couldn’t pay me enough to be an elementary school principal. They have to be a business manager. Politician. Fundraiser. Cheerleader. Counselor. Pedagogical leader. Facilities manager. They have to manage really creative folks who may have vested a lot of time and energy into special units and activities that from year to year may not fit into the curriculum, and deal with those teachers when they get upset. Newer teachers are often more willing to go with the curriculum of the month, but fewer of them want to work the 60 hours a week that teachers used to, And they’re often not as excited about carrying on unpaid extra traditions. And in DC, the number of personnel evaluations that Principals have to write is crazy. Unless it’s changed, I think they have to do written evaluations of multiple paragraphs for every staff member multiple times a year. It’s a ridiculous amount— order of magnitude more human resources paperwork than managers of other similarly sized organizations.[/quote]
