One Opinion.
Theres a lady my aunt works with that is going for her Principalship, wants to become a principal. My aunt e-mailed her and asked her what she would do in the following situation.
If you found yourself as a principal at a relatively large high school with 3 vices to help you, what would you do in this situation..Its exam day like other high schools. There is a high student population attending school this day. At around 11:00am, you find yourself being called to a few situations around the school involving approx. 30 students. This includes fireworks being set off, crazy glue being used on portable classroom locks and one other incident which you don't know full details yet. Do you do one of the following or do you have a different outcome for this,
A) You call a lock down of the school. this will secure those writing exams so they can continue and possible sort out those who are causing trouble
A) PRETTY DIFFICULT TO LOCK DOWN FOR SAFETY REASONS, NOT ADVISABLE. COULD LEAD TO MORE DISRUPTION AND CAUSE PANIC FOR PARENTS ETC.
B) You take control of the situations
B) IMPOSSIBLE FOR ONE PERSON TO TAKE CARE OF ALL SITUATIONS AND DO A GOODJOB
C) You do nothing and hope everything goes away
C) NOT COMFORTABLE FOR ME PERSONALLY...ENCOURAGES MORE ANTICS
D) You decide that the school is unsafe for the students and call a full evacuation of the school and so that everyone will do this you pull the fire alarm
D) PULLING A FIRE ALARM WITHOUT A FIRE OR SUSPECT IS SUBJECT TO PENALTIES I BELIEVE. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH GOING OVER THE PA, ALTHOUGH IT WOULD HAVE TOBE PRETTY OUT OF CONTROL FOR ME TO DO THAT!!!
E) You send out the vices to round up the trouble makers so the many other students can continue to write their exams
E) SEE COMMENT ABOVE - THE TROUBLE MAKERS SHOULD BE LONG GONE. NOTHING WRONGWITH EXTRA SUPERVISION BY ADMIN IN THE HALLS.
E-mail Back -
Hmmmm....is this a trick question? Did one of my professors or someone atthe VSB put you up to this??? Anyways, I'll go for it...As the principal, I would:
1) NOT go into panic mode and gather as much info ON ALL THE SITUATIONS Ican first.
2) The exams go on as usual/normal...except with VP or extra teacher supervision in the halls around those areas to avoid disruption and keepcalm & quiet...
3) Determine the details of the 'other' situation to prioritize my attention
4) I use all the VP's as much as possible to investigate the different situations(providing they are totally competent) & extra hall supervisionetc, ALSO send an engineer or custodial staff to deal with the locks.
5) It's likely the troublemakers are not sticking around, so with administrative prescence and teachers on duty, further disruption should nothappen.
It is my job to maintain a safe and orderly learning environment. I need tobe accessible and appraised of EVERY situation (thus being at the command post) however, I would handle the most urgent to the safety of the staff and students. Once the VP's are back...we debrief and deal with troublemaker informationand with them.
DID I PASS??? SEE MY COMMENTS ABOVE IN CAPS...
Respect.
people are so immature!
I can't stand it!!
I don't understand how people found today so awesome...yea so they got the last two blocks off. But fuck, no one understands the rep. the school is getting. Great way to represent Terry Fox.
I just don't like how these people represent our school. Like, if our school was named after some river then fine whatever...but we're suppose to be representing a Canadian Hero or whatever and I can't stand it. I may be over exadurating but UGH!
It screwed over alot of teachers that had finals to give today. And, that just shows that students can take over. He made a stupid move doing that.
I probably sound like some goodie goodie or whatever the fuck. But today was ridiculous.
And a late congrats to Fisty and Brule. Show them how to play.
Biotch
Day 2 - Piggy Disection...or should I say, Stella The Piggy. Fun Fun...smells a like a crap.
Photo - Yawwwwnnn, boring much? I better get boosted 3% for that writing shyt..I won't but still!
Socials - Practice Provincial...stupid gov't. Let's stress these kids out some more.
Francais - Not to shabby..I think I did okay on my test.
Yearbooks today; ahem..they look pretty. I can't give them permission to place my action photoi en le yearbook if my nom est not going to be listed.
Study like you've never studied before. So maybe if I had actaully reviewed my Bio shyt throughout the whole year I would have understood the course better...everythings beginning to make sense...
LB - biotch biotch biotch. age is just an illusion.
Bed time PWam.
further
why is it when life seems like its hit rock bottom, it drops just a little further? how can this happen? its not possible. it's feels like my existence has brought this curse upon the ones i love. i want to believe its not me. i dont see things improving. i dont want to complain. causing resistance from the ones i need. i need to faintly fade away and camouflage from the tendencies of this life forever.

Hole In The Soil
why do i feel the way i do. ive done something wrong…again. why cant i be ‘normal’. satisfy people the best i can. why do i have to be the person i am. feeling like im on top of the world with just one more swimming pool. and the next moment feeling like a hopeless hole in the soil that is slowly filled day after day. i try to be who you want me to be. i only fail. feeling the dirt close in on me. crushing what i could have had. ah. fuck the satisfaction of others. this is my life. i am who i am. take me for me. let me flee this enclosing puncture that lays within the earth. or leave me drowning in your silence. i dont understand. this life. you. and me. let me be.
But the bravest man amongst us is afraid of himself. The mutilation of the savage has its tragic survival in the self-denial that mars our lives. We are punished for our refusals. Every impulse that we strive to strangle broods in the mind and poisons us. The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains then but the recollection of a pleasure, or the luxury of a regret. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful. It has been said that the great events of the world take place in the brain. It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also. - Oscar Wilde
