TOUGHEST JOB IS PRINCIPAL'S JOB IN SCHOOLS!!

 Hi,

         No job in education is easy. Every job worth doing right takes hard work and dedication. Though I think all careers in education are tough, the PRINCIPAL JOB  stand out as some of the toughest. Educators that stay with these jobs and strive to succeed are making a real difference in shaping our next generation.

         Some teachers may think the job of a principal is easier than being in the classroom. But if done right, the principal has one of the toughest jobs in a school. Not only is the principal in charge of the school’s mission, they also oversee the hiring, firing, transfer, and tenure of teachers as well as coordinating with bus drivers, janitorial staff and lunch workers. 

          In addition, they evaluate teachers, handle student discipline and play defense and offense when it comes to pleasing parents. It’s a year round job with a school reputation on the line. Some principals feel such pressure to help their students succeed that they step into the classroom and teach. 

         From a business perspective, they work with budgets, order supplies and curriculum, plan professional development and work to secure school donors. It’s one of the few education jobs that can impact a student’s day start to finish in every room of the building.
