But my worst memory from teaching did not have to do with the students. My first principal made my life impossible.

I understand about principals. I had fantastic principals: supportive, great. Until 2 years ago. My new principal apparently had a problem with male teachers. Out of the 10 male teachers in our building, 8 left at the end of the year. All of us were constantly being told that we were not running our classrooms properly - without being told what we were doing wrong or how to correct it. Each one of us were replaced with female teachers.

But, now I am enjoying teaching middle school. They can be tough, but I think that middle school kids get a bad rap. You just have to let them know what you will and won't put up with and stick with it.
