  Case: No Fun in School
My principal is a firm believer in instruction from bell to bell. I teach in an elementary school and we used to have school wide celebrations for students who have met their Reading and Math goals. Now it is left up to the teacher but it has to be done during the students scheduled Activity time. I feel that some students could be more motivated if the fun was brought back to our elementary school. How do I get my principal to understand this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would ask other teachers within the school, and see what their thoughts on this situation. That way instead of going to the principal and having a one-on-one meeting, it would give him/her a more broaden perspective on the impact that this is having on the teachers in the school. I just think it would make a more impact on the principal, if he saw that more teachers are in the same boat as yourself. I would also come up with ideas to present to him as well.
