American Principal

Another true story. 1- Neat attire creates self-esteem. 2- Change the bad status quo in a short period of time, only with an iron fist. (1) The old man invited an armed person to be the protector of the school. (2) The first thing the old man did when he went to the school was to expel the rogue students in the school. Because these people have no possibility of graduating, the old man can't control them, and they can't control other children in the old man. (3) Announce that only the old man has the final say in the school. Build credibility. (4) Remove graffiti. Build a neat school. (5) The physical education teacher who cannot lead the team is demoted. (6) Dismissal of disobedient music teachers. Because the music teacher wanted to teach Mozart, the old man just wanted the music teacher to teach every child to sing the school song. For the first time I understood that Mozart is not everything.

(7) The old man asked the vice-principal, why can't you go to the state to get the test scores of the children? (8) The test scores were very poor. The old man made most of the teachers raise their hands over their heads. The purpose was to let the teachers experience the feeling of being threatened by the police with guns because of their lack of skills. Motivating teachers must do their best to teach children learning skills.

(9) The old man asked the repentant children to return to school, but said that one mistake could not be repeated.

(10) The old man helped students with children and pregnant children to solve problems, and asked the mothers of the children to go to school to make up lessons. This is what shocked me.

(11) The school song has become the soul of the school. Inspire children to "I can" through the school song.

3- Lovely old man Morgan Freeman.

Lean on Me quotes

  • [after refusing admittance to the Fire Chief]

    Joe Clark: [to Ms. Levias] You know what he's saying right now? "Black bastard can't throw me out!" You know where he's saying it? Out in the parking lot.

  • Joe Clark: [at an assembly] I want all of you to take a good look at these people on the risers behind me. These people have been here roughly five years, and done absolutely nothing. These people are drug dealers and drug users. They have taken up space. They have disrupted this school. They have harassed your teachers. And they have intimidated you. Well, times are about to change. You will not be bothered in Joe Clark's school. These people are incorrigible. And since none of them could graduate anyway...

    [to those onstage]

    Joe Clark: ... you are all expurgated. You are dismissed! You are out of here, forever. I wish you well! Mr. Wright...

    [after Security Dean William Wright and Eastside's new guards eject all the "problem" kids from school, Clark's audience in the decaying auditorium grows silent]

    Joe Clark: Next time, it may be you. If you do no better than they did, next time it WILL be you. They said this school was dead, like the cemetery it's built on. But we call our Eastside teams "Ghosts", don't we? And what are ghosts? Ghosts are spirits that rise from the dead. I want you to be my ghosts. You are going to lead our resurrection, by defying the expectation that all of us are doomed to failure. My motto is simple: If you do not succeed in life, I don't want you to blame your parents. I don't want you to blame the White Man. I want you to blame yourselves. The responsibility is yours! In two weeks we have a practice exam, and on April 13th we have the Minimum Basic Skills Test itself. That's 110 school days from now. But it's not just about those test scores. If you do not have these basic skills, you will find yourselves locked out. Locked out of that American Dream that you see advertised on TV, and that they tell you is so easy to get. You are here for one reason. One reason only: To learn. To work for what you believe in. The alternative is to waste your time, to fall into the trap of crime and drugs and death. Does everybody understand that? Do all of you understand me? Then welcome to the new Eastside High.
