[quote=Anonymous]I believe that day-to-day discipline problems should be addressed by the teacher. When you have to rely on your principal, you give up your power. I taught in a school that was plagued by the presence of at least three well-known gangs. In my classes, which averaged thirty students, I usually had one or two students from two-parent households. I taught elementary (Northwest before gentrification during the Crack epidemic) and a low SES high school (Northeast). The principal must SUPPORT the teacher and should have high expectations for student behavior; however, he/she should not be viewed as the dispenser of discipline.[/quote]
