This is my fifteenth year in the education business, my ninth year as an administrator, and my seventh year as an Assistant Principal at my school. Though I've often spoken about how I'd like to go back into the classroom--or into something else entirely--I sometimes forget those numbers. This job is a big part of my life, and maybe TOO big a part. Here's why:
1) I was only a few seconds away from dress-coding a college student at a local market.
2) Occasionally, I answer the phone at home using my school name and title.
3) I've posted personal stuff on my work blog, and vice-versa. (Which blog is this again?)
4) I've threatened my own kid--who doesn't even attend my school--with Saturday detention.
5) All my Internet purchases are delivered to my work address.
6) When parking at the supermarket, I complain that "those" cars don't have staff decals.
7) At Thanksgiving, people asked, "How are you?" and I immediately listed the open projects on my desk.
8) I check personal e-mail three times a day. I check work e-mail every 20 minutes.
No wonder I can't get my novel written. Or started. Or--nevermind.
Helpful hints, position essays, and useless blather from the Assistant Principal of a high school in Southern California. Posts here do not necessarily reflect the positions or views of the school or district with which he is employed.
So there.
So there.
I am very happy to read this. This is the kind of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that’s at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this best posting.
