Right on! By mein10

I agree. I think that the principals I have had the most respect for have been the ones who get in there and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. They are friendly, don't hide in their offices, and are very visible. They are "friendly" and welcoming of all staff members and don't show favoritism. I'd hate to say they can't have "friends" but they must be very careful not to show favoritism or give preferential treatment to some staff members. That is a recipe for disaster. When you hire a teacher don't you want one that relates well to all students and makes each student feel important and special. I think a good principal can make staff feel the same way. It's not easy, but it is possible.
