Negative, but reality......
My blogs tend to be more positive than negative, but sometimes you truly hit a day where you can't stand it anymore and if I truly want to use my blog someday for a bigger writing project, then I must share all, not just the good............
Here's what I can't stand - don't use leadership development as a disguise for passing the buck, sharing the burden, using people as resources to get your philosophies accepted and creating a team mentality so that you don't look bad by the end of the year. And don't use kids (especially just the leaders-senate) to put your image out there (reach out for the level 3's, the attention getters, the sped kids and the quiet ones who slip through the cracks-heck the leaders are the ones who put themselves in bad situations and try to rationalize it with the school.) Don't drop the "housework", so to speak just because you want to go to "the movies", so to speak.....and be born a white, male-it helps.
Maybe that is what being principal is about - holding the title and getting the respect, but using others to get there.....the thing is, not once did I ever feel this away about our two previous principals, so maybe it's the person and at least (if any positive can come) I am learning what NOT to do, if I were to ever move ahead in my career.
