Black and White

Thinking about the number of things that we discussed in class the one thing that stood out the most to me is that there is no black and white area in education.  With each positive and negative scenario that was brought up we had different opinions on how to handle the situation.  I walked out of class each day questioning how I would handle the various situations if I were principal.  It seemed to be overwhelming, but the one thing that I believe is the most important aspect of a principal is to be consistent with all decisions.  No matter if it is keeping the school safe or the hiring of good staff, the way that the principal goes about these decisions needs to be consistent from day one.
