Additionally, there are of course the big shots. The head honchos. The ones who swipe your cell phone in class, discipline, and generally control the school system in an iron fisted grip. I am, of course, talking about the staff.

Principal – can actually be a pretty amiable fellow. This is usually because he hands most disciplinary matters down to the dean and vice principal.

Dean of Students – usually the main disciplinary after the teachers. In the Euphemism-to-English Dictionary, “Dean of Students” is defined best as “Dictator.”

Vice Principal – often an embittered older gentleman or lady deciding to choose a quieter job instead of retirement. They obviously didn’t read the fine print.

Teachers – these are, of course, the main body of the staff. Some are nice, some are strict, some bear a frightening resemblance to Salvatore Lo Piccolo, but most deserve your respect. After all, though outlawed, paddling can be “overlooked” from time to time, if youse know what I means.
