"principal" news and stories

I'm pretty confused about this one. An elementary school principal in Connecticut has been suspended because of a birthday cake? Well, I guess it was the argument he got into with a parent trying to deliver it to his child's class.

The parent was trying to take a homemade birthday cake to his kids class. Apparently that was against school policy, and when the principal tried to explain that the parent "protested". I am not sure exactly what happened, but it was enough that the suspension may lead to firing for the principal.

Birthday cake is supposed to bring happiness, not aggression. Both of the people involved should be ashamed that they brought negativity to such a happy thing. What so you think about this?

It seems that Giant Food Stores loves to sponsor events that get principals dirty. First, they sponsored an event at a York, Pennsylvania elementary school where the principal became a human burger and now they have a principal dunking her head in a vat of chocolate pudding. To help raise money for the school's Life Skills class, Kristin Herb, the principal of Carlisle High School, went bobbing for objects that were hidden in a huge container of pudding in front of a cheering crowd of students. Though she requested the flavor, after pulling out a plastic action figure, a baby's teething ring, a rubber ball, a squid and a toy dog bone, she probably won't be eating any voluntarily for quite some time.

Yesterday, students at York, Pennsylvania's Locust Grove Elementary School doused their principal with hamburger toppings in an act of charity. A local supermarket chain offered to double the amount of money they normally donate to local schools whose principals did something "original and entertaining," according to the York Daily Record. Locust Grove principal Robert W. Shick (above) was one of five administrators chosen from hundreds of entrants. Shick sat on a hamburger bun as students covered him with all sorts of fixins, including lettuce, relish, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise (shiver). "It felt very good between my toes," Shick told the YDR.
