[quote=Anonymous]Not to discount leadership, but I think it's naive to claim that a principal is the only crucial variable, neither for better nor for worse. Rather, the principal is something of a self-fulfilling prophesy. One who is capable, liked, and reputed will attract those who do their homework about choosing schools; and, voila, you've got a better school. Also, even if the principal were the crucial piece in the puzzle, their quality is intimately tied to their ties with teachers, admin, and community. (Public) schools are not corporations, where you fly in a capable team to execute a mission, a merger, a turn-around and such. That's not all of course, but enough to quell a seeming desire here to rank (or denigrate) principals. I know it's tempting to sling a little mud to keep this thread going; but I think part of what makes Ward 6 schools strong - and different! - is that's not what we're about. We work together to make things happen, sometimes with a little help, sometimes against the odds, but always with a lot of drive and commitment![/quote]
