Please forgive me
For the next week or two I probably won't be writing very much. It's back to school time and I'm swamped.
Most teachers go back next Monday but I actually went back last week. Despite have a couple of finals as well, last week wasn't that bad. This week, though, has been worse.
There've been a lot of changes at my school and each day just seems to bring more and more changes. A little over two weeks ago it was announced that my principal was being reassigned to a different school and a new principal would be taking over.
This new principal is bringing over a lot of people from his previous school. It seems like he's bringing more each day and some of the changes have been surprising.
I don't have a good track record with schools that switched principals while I was there. I'm trying to remain positive that third times the charm, though.

Sort of like the President choosing his cabinet? Seems a little strange for a principal to do.

I'm of two minds about the whole thing. This way the principal can bring over people that (s)he already knows will work well with him/her. At the same time, (s)he's pushing out people that know the school well and are hard workers.
It's a very different experience for me than the last times I was at a school during a principal change. In those cases, though, the new principal either had never been principal or had been working in another county immediately before becoming principal.

I forgive you. Sometimes it's just all in the asking. I personally forgive you.
