Subject: shifting loads (# 267)

You have a point, Leah, but I have to add that placing ALL the 
responsibility on a principal's support of his teachers cannot be the 
answer.   While, I agree that it's time to take the load of exclusive 
responsibility off the overburdened teachers' backs, repositioning it on the 
principal's merely amounts to 'passing the buck'.  No matter how we add up 
the figures, a teacher still comes out on top of the scale of importance in 
his/her role as educator.

An effective administrator certainly realizes this and should ensure that 
his/her staff is the best (I realize that's a loaded word!), most dedicated 
that he/she can find -- and then work to consistently encourage such a staff 
(instead of constantly laying on non-teaching  tasks, for example).  I 
realize this sounds too good to be true, but we can dream, can't we?

Kol tuv,
Batya
