This position is dyed-in-the-wool to the reminiscence of Fred Caruolo, erstwhile primary of Byram Hills High School, Armonk, New York, who died, by suicide, time he was main. At the time, the School Board members had definite that the principals were too soft in their evaluations of teachers. They looked-for to see straightforward, honest, living evaluations, especially of inferior teachers, not the shy evaluations that they aforesaid they had been previously owned to acquiring. When Fred followed their directions, all the pits stony-broke limp. The teachers banded in cooperation antagonistic him. The teachers relationship insisted in seated in on any evaluations. Fred's reply was not to touch deadlines for his evaluations. Weeks went by, and static he didn't circle them in. Then, one day, he shut his outbuilding doors and turned on his automobile's efferent.
All of us principals knew what had killed him. However, we were too scared to shout up. The wisest of us overlooked the School Board's directions and endless to heap acknowledgment on the teachers, even the inferior ones. Only now am I informative you this, more than twenty old age after having vanished that conservatory scheme. Fred's spouse sued, claiming "wrongful death," but I don't cognize what the conclusion was.
