Oh....Mr Principle!!!






Do you remember your school's principles? For me, I never remembered them . If you asked me why.The answer is because they have no significant in my life. I bet you do too... : )




HNIC = Head ni**r in charge
From what I've seen, this movie is about the administration of a school.  For those who are thinking to becoming  an administrator some  day , this movie is suitable for them. It gives us a lot of insight in handling different challenges faced by administrators. At the beginning of the movie , there is a line that really caught my attention. That line says that "Discipline is not the enemy of enthusiasm" . For me , this line is very true.  It doesn't mean that when discipline is established in school, the students will lose the eagerness to learn. In fact, the  discipline will encourage the student's enthusiasm to learn.

What makes Mr. Clark a good administrator ? It is his decision making that makes him a good administrator . He was not afraid or feel  threatened with the people who did not agree with him even if it meant being unpopular with the students and his peers.  He stood firm with what he believes is right and good for the school. Administrators have to make a lot of decisions, whether big or small. And in making decisions, one must always remember that there will always be resistance, not everyone will agree with you. But as an administrator, you should not let this affect you.   If administrators become hesitant about their decisions, they will be undermined by the teachers and later on might lose their credibility amongst the students and his colleagues.

I like this movie even though it is not my choice of movie to be watch. Watching this movie have giving me a better insights in handling different challenges faced by administrators.

  1. it was a good movie...i love the way Mr. Clark handle the situation in his school...he stick with his opinion...but...he still consider his students favor..for example, when he said that every student has to memorize the school song or they will be suspended...they change the rhythm...but...he love it when he listen to the new genre of the song which is more catchy and enjoyable...he will be the first to face all the problems in the school...important element in order to be a good teacher..
