So much I could add to your story, Leonard. In all my teaching career, one who stood out was the deputy principal. She was amazing. Of course she would shrug off the notion that she was the primary reason for our school standing head and shoulders above others.

There was a lot of nepotism in the system I worked within, and even now, I find in the office where 'consultants' work, the same system prevails. Congratulations on being a principled, principal, Leonard.
