Have you ever wondered what it would be like sitting across the desk from a kindergarten student who was in trouble, and you were the principal? How would you feel when you had worked so hard with a young boy and his issues and receive a phone call a year later telling you he was found dead in his room by a gunshot wound?
***
Travel with me through my thirty-one-year career as a teacher, coach, and principal while I share some short stories that are often hilarious, sad, teachable moments, and some that will tug at your heartstrings (you can’t miss the story of the little kindergarten girl I proposed to at graduation). They Call Me Mr. O: A Common Sense Approach to Education and Life will show how using common sense, which may seem unconventional at times, and forming true relationships with kids, parents, and teachers can result in such a positive atmosphere and will create a culture that will yield to success, even after you’re gone.
