Elementary School Principal Reviews
What is it like working as an Elementary School Principal?
April 2017
Education involves a learning curve at every level.
Elementary School Principal in Lincolnton:
Be aware of the stress of Human Resource issues, everyone is not like you were! Even if you consider yourself a people person, there will be those who will work against you and the system" just because". "Don't take it personally" is something you need to get use to... The kids are worth it and you have to find the staff members that will be positive and supportive to keep doing what you are doing. To excel at the job, be positive, be helpful, remember we are here for the children and we should leave problems at home or at the door-- the kids deserve that!
