About Ask the Principal

This site is basically a blog for parents who are seeking advice about how to navigate the public school system in the best interests of their child or children. If you are experiencing problems or have issues with teachers or administrators, or you just have questions about schools and schooling, this advice blog may be able to help you.

Hopefully, I will be able assist parents with solid advice, information and tools that will result in more positive experiences for them and their children. Parents are their child’s first teacher and they must become knowledgeable and remain active throughout the K-12 journey and beyond. Parents who are not active and suffer from the “ leave it to the teacher and the school syndrome” are gambling. Why? There are not enough outstanding teachers or principals to reform the public schools.

This site may also benefit teachers, administrators and school board members whose professional mission is to improve and become what they preach to students— a lifelong learner. As a committed lifelong learner myself, I look forward to YOUR comments and advice which may contribute to my improvement and that of the participants in this blog.
