Deep Thoughts...Not By Jack Handey

1. If you are the principal of a low income, troubled school--possibly in turnaround--it is in poor taste to drive your Mercedes to work every day.

 2.Teenagers are terrible drivers.

3.Schools are not failing, parents are.  Teachers stopped giving homework because it was not getting done at home. Parents failed, not the schools.

4. It  does not matter what content a child reads, we should support  the act of  reading not attack the subject matter they are reading. 

5. Addendum to #4, we should also appreciate anyone willing to give up their own time to read to our children, not attack them  because we do not like that they are wearing the clothing assigned to the opposite sex.

6.Dolly Pardon should be put in charge.

7.If you cannot put together a coherent sentence, you should not be in a position of authority.

8. Hey kids, when you do not have any lunch,  it's OK to ask a teacher for theirs. 

9. If you have  never experienced or researched or taught or worked yourself, you should probably stop citing the research, experience, work and teaching of others as your own.

10. If you are right and everyone else is wrong  and they insist on pointing out your incorrect statements, stop listening. Lock yourself in your tower and issue directives from there. People will do what you say when you behave like a monarch.
