[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many places where parents love a principal does not mean the teachers do. It is a different set of skills and personality to authentically be loved and respected by those you manage professionally and who depend on you for their bonus.

This is my current situation. I cannot for the life of me figure out the love for the principal. And it’s not like we are a high performing school on track to be high performing. Teachers are miserable. [/quote]

Happy teachers might make for happy students but you need to look critically at which teachers love or hate their principal. [b]For too many years, under-performing DC schools have had principals who prioritize “happy teachers” over having high expectations for them and holding them accountable for actually doing their job well. Strong teachers are happy when their principals expect high-quality instruction from all teachers and demand excellence for all students.  [/b]

Good point.[/quote]

Delusional. Clearly you’ve never been an educator in  one of the most dysfunctional school systems in the US. [/quote]

Yeah unhappy teachers are great for the students and stick around. You want a business model, you got it, miserable  :roll: [/quote]
