Who would want it?
It’s not worth the money.


Agreed.

There is an activist parent group at B-CC who seems to have absolutely no idea what the principal can and cannot influence. They would blame the principal for bad weather and say he should be fired.

Why don't they try random people? They already KNOW these principals can't do the job. If they hire someone totally random, it will at least be hit or miss instead of a definite swing and "miss."


DANG! What is the Harmony Hills principal doing that's so horrible?

What does that even mean? They would have to post the principal position to look for a replacement.
