Hey guys! I was one day hoping to work in administration in the school system and was wondering if anyone else wanted to too. And also what are ya'll views on school administration. Bye!

I have spoken with many teachers turned administrators and they said..the further they get away from the classroom, the more they hate their jobs. I think it is great if you have the warewithall. Just do not forget where you came fron, as many teachers turned admin. do!!! Best of luck

Good point Derek. I would like to have heard Gayle's position on this, since she said she has trained some principals-to-be. You would think, or at least hope, that a teacher- turned principal would be a GREAT addition to a school's administration. Someone who has come out of college, been in front of the students, seen first hand the conditions of the classrooms/teachers/building/education/curriculum, and then is appointed the "boss", should be a welcome change. Maybe moreso than someone who has great leadership skills but doesn't know the issues being dealt with in individual classrooms. Be ready to earn your stripes, though!
