I think your review of the administrators is spot on. The principal appears to be amiable because he/she delegates the real discipline to his/her understudy. So, in reality if you think you hate your vice-principal… you really hate your principal… As that is who’s running the puppetry.

Egads, I belong to the “Staff Species.” Thankfully I’m not a principal, dean of students, or v.p., nor do I aspire to someday attain any of those positions.
I’m just a lowly teacher, though I have been said to bear a frightening resemblance to Salvatore Lo Piccolo, come to think of it…

I thought this was going to be bad, but I thought you were actually pretty balanced and fair.

I agree with THX . Perfect descriptions for that particular species. This guide is very entertaining to read. ;-)

If your teachers/principal log onto ficlets you’re geting 10 demerits buddy lol. very funny.

Th Vp is always in charge of discipline, avoid him/her at all cost.

gaud i love my principal and vice principal, they are awesome ppl who think i don’t get in trouble much=]

Haha. I got in trouble by the principle for walking down the hallway alone. Yeah, pretty sad. But, anyway, I love your definition for V.P.

“Dean of Studentsâ€? is defined best as “Dictator.â€?
.
I didn’t have a Dean of Students until college, at which point, I can tell you, they become very nice individuals and exactly who you want on your side. Dean of Student Life pretty much rocks as well.

Say hello to vice principal KONKLE !!!

Say hello to vice principal KONKLE !!!

i don’t remember having a vice principal or dean of students at my school…
(verrrry small school. less than 200 kids total.)

this just proves that every middle school is exactly the same. lol

hahahahah
i agree with fantasy.. :] true dattt.

I don’t know…my dean wasn’t too bad. My principal was kind of scary. Freaked him out once in the hall, which was incredible amounts of fun. I didn’t like the comment that teachers deserve your respect sharing the same sentence as the paddling idea. Most teachers deserve respect because most teachers dish it out. At least they did to me.
