Have you read this article about the Vermont Principal who was removed from her school because in order to get Federal NCLB funds this “failing” school was required to get rid of their principal?  They could have also started a charter but Vermont doesn’t have charter schools.  The gal reminds me of my principal:

Vermont Principal	My Principal
Worked constantly	Works constantly
Started an arts school	Starting an arts school
Working at central admin now.	Still working hard for our school.

  See?  They’re basically the same. 

What’s the message here?  Whatever you do, do not become a principal of a school where poor kids learn.  You might be fired and your heart will feel like it’s broken.  


I'm pretty pleased with the use of the table to compare the two principals.  What do you think?
