essay on If I were a principal of school
Answers
Explanation:
Office of a principal is an important post in school. A principal is expected to run the school, of course with the help of his staff. He has to take decision quickly and create an atmosphere that will let the teachers and students grow. Only a man of proven ability can be offered the post of a school-principal. I, for one in the capacity of a student, do not possess the qualities that made principal of an institution.
I cannot aspire to be one. However, if something like that happens in fairy tales were to work its magic and give me an opportunity to be the principal of my school, it will be wonderful. I will then implement the schemes I have cherished all these years.
I would not allow students to remain in tents any longer. The tents are simply prison cells for them. In summer they suffer from heat and dust and in the rainy season. It becomes impossible to save the books and stationary from being spoiled by rain.
I would have a water tap installed in each class room so that the students do not run about for drinking water and live at the mercy of the waterman. Who knows whether the water stored in drums or pitchers is hygienically pure or not.
I would get all the activities and program like the school parliament, the literary association, Scouting, N.C.C. and others not only more studies oriented but made the students work all school hours on books. Ultimately all the students will pass the school leaving exams and we shall get 100% pass result and a good reputation.
These activities as they are practiced take away most of the time that we would otherwise devote to studies. Besides there is no advantage in these activities in the name even. I would rather introduce only two activities namely speech making and NCC. But I would expect the students to run up on holidays for these.
If I Were The Principal of A School, I would re-introduce corporal punishment. SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD applies very correctly to our schools. Boys have developed careless habits. They write a bad hand and come to school in soiled dress. It is fear of the rod that will set matters right. In short, I shall insist on strict discipline in my school.
I would not allow the school to function in the afternoon in summer months. It is tiring. How can students be fresh and active in hot afternoon? I would have the school between 7a.m and 2 noon.
Required Answer:-
If I Were the Principal of My School
A Principal is the head of a school who has to discharge numerous duties. To be a Principal one must be a dynamic leader who can set an example for others. Sometimes I wish I were the Principal of my school. I would try to set a personal example by my behaviour, honesty, devotion to duty, hard work and punctuality.
I would try to ensure that students of my school always maintain discipline. I would also try to devise an interactive method of teaching so that students are not stuffed with bookish knowledge. Games and sports will be an important part of the school curriculum. I would also encourage students to learn art, music, dance, play-acting and other skills.
I would make students in-charge of various activities so that they learn organising skills and teamwork. They would also learn to fulfill responsibilities which would help them in future. Debates, quiz competitions, extempores, etc., would be organised on a regular basis and every student would be given a chance to participate. Good habits and cleanliness are an important part of our life. I would ensure the school premises are kept clean.
I would try and make myself available to staff members, parents, and of course, students and at all times. I would love my students so that they will love and respect me and not be fearful of me.
