In another edition of how silly our education system is, comes this gem about a principle and a student fighting. The incident took place at Huntington High School, and was caught on video with a cellphone. So with a principle fighting a student, how do you think the Caddo School Board would respond? Dismissal of the principle? Suspension?
Nope.
The board decided on a ban of cellphones in the school was a more appropriate act. In fact the board did nothing about the principle until the student showed the video to the local media. The board responded by putting the principle on paid administrative leave. I think the more appropriate response would be to remove the morons on the board who thought it was a good idea to ban cellphones. Removing the devices that catch your teachers and principles doing things that they shouldn't isn't the answer.
Try hiring administration that will set a good example and not join in on the fray.
