A Final Story

This story epitomizes our principal and her interactions with students.

A senior boy ordered a pizza for lunch from outside the building and was cutting class awaiting its delivery. He was caught by the principal and she escorted him to the office. This might have been the end of it, he was a good kid, rarely in trouble, maybe he would have received a detention or in-school suspension. Once in the office, the principal berated him for several minutes. She left, then returned a few minutes later and started in on him again. Finally she got what she wanted and he snapped, saying to her something like "get out of my face, bitch". Oops, magic words, three day suspension. What started out as a somewhat typical senior incident was escalated by the principal into a major deal. The sad part is I don't think she even liked kids.
