Why aren't you a principal yet?
2012-02-01 22:46:00 It’s long been said on this blog and elsewhere that CPS schools were increasingly being run by out of town, alternatively prepared principals who ingratiated themselves with area (network) officers, rather than good old CPS principals who worked their way up from the classrooms they’d run masterfully for at least a decade. Well, according to... Read more »

Hey Kids, You Can Rip On Your Principal Now
2011-06-20 15:13:00 Remember when Marcia Brady was accused of drawing a comical picture of her English teacher Mrs. Denton? The school punished her with one-week detention, and it almost cost her the big slumber party. Well, it's no longer a Brady world. According to some recent court opinions, even school principals are fair game for ridicule and worse, as long as you do it outside of school. They said that students could not be punished for slamming their school principals on MySpace pages, when the students used their own computers at home. In one case, some middle schoolers created a fake MySpace profile of the school principal. Though they didn't use the principal's name, the profile had his picture,...

Dear Principal: The Teacher Hurt My Kid's Feelings xoxo Clueless Paren
2011-03-09 04:00:00 I know not all educators are perfect. But stories like this make me cringe and question how often this crap actually goes on at schools across the nation. When I hear of a story like this that becomes "news worthy" I wonder how teachers put up with parents like Mrs. Innocent.
People: Turnaround Principal From Boston
2011-01-10 16:07:00 He's Steven Zrike, and he apparently left the school he was turning around in Boston to come to Chicago for a job -- with new schools, turnarounds, or AUSL, I'm assuming. Does anyone know where he is and whether he's being hazed appropriately for the sudden move (and for daring to come to CPS from somewhere else)? His teachers back home miss him, according to the Boston Globe (here)....
"Principal's Pick" Banned Again - No One Cares
2010-11-08 17:26:00 For all the attention and concern generated by last week's announced plan for magnet and SE schools this year, the decision to ban principal picks for a second year has generated relatively little attention compared to last year, when it was first prohibited, and previous years when it was a chronic complaint about the application and admissions process. Does that mean that it's not as important as previously thought, or that people are generally fine with leaving principals out of the process? Or is the provision something that's a major concern and I'm just not tracking the debate? Also -- do you think that the Board will endorse the changes later this month or will there be late changes like...
Pro Or Con on Court Restoring Julian Principal?
2010-10-26 03:35:00 Is it a victory for justice or a problem that a judge has apparently ordered CPS to restore Darreyl Young-Gibson (left?) to her position as the head of Julian HS for not following due process (ABC7)? You make the call. Young-Gibson was removed right before spring break 2009 and replaced (for a time at least by Careda Taylor). First off, who knew that principals had any job protections whatsoever unless they were under contract with an LSC? Second of all, Julian is or at least was a mess. What do you think? ...

LSCs: Who Should Be Galileo's Next Principal?

The recent election for LSC was hotly contested, which also plays a role in the process (though I'm unsure if the new LSC members will take their seats in time to make the decision). ...

In any case, Oprah is going to have to testify in Philadelphia in the trail over a defamation lawsuit brought by the school's former headmistress, whose performance Winfrey criticized.

"Principal Picks" Loopholes Closed -- Sort Of

My counterargument: Principal Steve Perry wants Obama kids to go to public
2009-11-01 06:20:00 CNN featured Principal Steve Perry on "Black in America" Part 2 President Barack H. Obama voluntarily ran for the President of the United States of America, but I don't see one piece of documentation stating that Sasha and Malia Obama had to be the guinea pigs for public school education. However, tonight on CNN's "Black Men in the Age of President Obama," Dr. Steve Perry discussed Obama's decision to not send his daughters to a public school with CNN news anchor Don Lemon. And while I respect Principal Steve Perry, of Capital Preparatory Magnet School in Hartford, Connecticut, for what he's done for his students, I disagree. Principal Perry was featured on CNN's "Black in America" Part 2, and his...
My Experience as "Principal for a Day" at Fenger High School
2009-10-30 23:02:00 If you follow me on twitter (click here to follow if don't), you are probably used to seeing the behind the scenes craziness of my life, as I explore the beauty of Chicago's character, art, entertainment & cultural scene. But no matter how random, I am sure like most, you were not expecting to see me as "Principal for a Day" at the much talked about Chicago Public School, Fenger.

Grammar Check – Let each sentence have one principal subject of thoug
2009-09-21 01:13:00 Let each sentence have one, and only one, principal subject of thought — Avoid heterogeneous sentences The writing process is not very easy but if you follow the rules regarding grammar, sentence construction, and paragraphing and others, it becomes a lot easier. It is always good to make your sentences easily understandable whether you use simple, compound or complex ones. This means that for you to be more clear on what you want to pass on, you should have one principal thought or idea for every sentence. When you make your sentences heterogeneous, you make it look like your thoughts are not organized and the reader can be easily misled. The main idea of a sentence should always come first too so that it is easier for the reader to follow and identify the main idea with whatever additional information you may be giving. For instance, “It was a beautiful dress with a unique design and adorned with splendid flowers.” The main idea of the sentence is “It was a beautiful...
Converting a Principal Residence into a Rental Property
2009-09-03 12:30:00 A real estate situation that I hear about often are people considering keeping their first home as a rental while moving onto their second personal residence. The upside is obvious, if they do it right, they get to keep an appreciating property along with the potential extra cash flow that rent brings in. The Basics As real estate investing is attractive partly due to the tax benefits, there is a tax rule that some people miss when converting their existing property into a rental. If we take a step back for moment, CRA rules state that if money is borrowed to generate income, then the interest is tax deductible. This applies to rental real estate as well. As the rental mortgage (investment loan) is used to generate rental income, all interest charged on the mortgage is tax deductible in addition to other rental property expenses such as property/water tax, insurance and utilities (if you pay for them). The Problem All is well a good, but the devil is in the details. For mo...
Plagiarizing Principal Tells Springstead High Valedictorian to Rewrite Spee
2009-06-05 01:20:00 If I had a daughter, I’d want her to be a lot like Jem Lugo, a bright and funny senior at Springstead High School in Hernando County. As valedictorian, she was tasked with writing a speech to deliver at her school’s graduation ceremony. I’ve been to several commencement exercises and the speeches given by the smartest kids in class are usually devoid of humor and almost always ignored by the audience. After five years in education and countless ceremonies, not one speech stands out. Jem is a bright girl. She’s heading to Harvard, after all. She researched speeches online and found they were boring and uninspiring. So she decided to be different. For my readers, the story is a familiar one. Using wit and wisdom, she crafted a speech that would make her audience laugh and think. She says she didn’t advocate anything immoral or illegal. Principal Susan Duval went apeshit anyway and decided that her speech had to go. The reason? Jem’s address was too “...
