Is It Easy to Be a School Principal?

[about]
It is easy to be a school principal only on two conditions: if you love children and if you are not afraid of authorities.
To love children means to trust them, to treat them as equals. When I say, equal, I do not mean equality in knowledge and experience, but rather treating students as equal human beings, whose life is ahead of them, who are smarter than we are, and who are quick-witted. My age allows me to ask a question: “What can I give them for the future?” I am asking this because our common future will be exactly the way our children will make it. Our mission is to help them think of this future but not build it for them.
