What bothers you about schools today?

In my preparation for becoming a principal, the area I see as a concern is communication. I wish that the superintendent, assistant superintendent, board members, and all directors could make contact with every school. Communication needs to begin on the inside of a building and spread through the layers of district personnel. When decisions are made whether building or district, I like to know why, or possibly have input with decision making. I think our district is moving in that direction, and change can take a long time. Being proactive and thinking how teachers, parents, and staff will feel about decisions would be an excellent first step.

I was so excited during a staff meeting I attended for my internship. My experience and ideas were tapped into and I felt validated. I felt like I was a vital part of the staff.
Everyone should feel this way. Communication within each school, parents, community, and with the central office would be an area that I believe would trickle down to benefit the learner. What do you think?
