Together with lawyers and bankers, school principals are in a tiny number of jobs whose holders are frequently hated and just rarely appreciated. Which should change on School Principals’ Day, the foundation being unknown but could most likely be credited to teachers’ unions!Although the job title varies between nations (‘School Principal’ can be used in The United States, while ‘Head Teacher’ is preferred within the United kingdom, for instance) every school needs to possess a boss. Schools are just like smaller businesses, with 100s of clients (students) and a large number of staff (instructors, receptionists, cleansers and so forth) and which makes it all run easily may be the job from the Principal. It’s especially difficult when the children are trouble-makers or even the parents aren’t happy. Principals have different duties, from teacher critiques to coping with serious discipline issues, but at its heart their job is all about supplying the very best atmosphere for children to understand.

Principal's day should be every day. The principal is the most important person in the school.

Were the Line Oaks High School Assit Principal's actions Racist?

A couple of points:

The first, a digression- Cinco De Mayo is not an official holiday in Mexico. Not everyone celebrates it. It is not a celebration of Mexican independence (which I think is in September). I may be wrong, but I have been informed that it is a celebration of of a specific battle with France.

That being said, I would imagine that a celebration is what you make it.

Secondly, in theory the Asst. Principles actions could be interpreted to suggest that the Mexicans are prone to impulsivity, violence, etc.. But, for it to be racists we would have to assume that he would have reacted differently to a different holiday with other high school kids. My guess is that most high school asst. principles have learned from (bitter) experience that all high school kids can be prone to impulsivity and poor judgment and that it is better to act with caution.

My guess is that he had some first hand knowledge that the student who decided to wear the American Flag was looking for trouble.

In the St. Patrick's Day example you are (theoretically) dealing with adults, not high school kids.

Keeping students after school?

Our school has a policy of Saturday school for high school students that end up in detention. If they don't show up, they can get hit on their grades.

For the the elementary school it is a wonderful policy. The teachers have color coded cards in their room. Every day a student starts on green. First warning is verbal. Second warning moves to yellow, third warning goes to orange, final warning goes to Red. The student has to move the color coded cards to the other color and explain to the teacher why they have to move it (what they did that was wrong). If the color goes to red, the student is required to call one of their parents in the principal's office to explain why they got red. Very few students want to have to call mom or dad. So, after the first time of getting red, the student usually learns.
