I'm from presspass tv and we are doing different articles and topics and one of the topics we encountered was that in this year about 70 principals have either retired, quited, or have been rersigned? We're having trouble looking for information so if anyone can give us any information, links, blogs, or anything possible relating to this information, we would apreciate it.

What school system are you talking about?

In Response to Whay have 70 headmasters resigned?:

Why have they quit? Or have the schools quit them? Most of these so called leaders or Principals let their power go to their heads. They make terrible decisions for their faculty, students and staff. I have never worked in a field with so many egomaniacs, who do so little for the education of our youth. Most are coffee drinking, closed door rulers without any real sense to what makes a school run efficiently. Most have no background in curriculum or any background in just plain common decency. They are usual political appointees, who got these positions from being a townie in the school district they serve in. Boston Public Schools is taking on an innovative approach this year. A school run by a team of teachers with no Principal in charge. The teachers will work together for the benefit of the students and the school. I wish I could get a job there. I bet all the kids will pass the MCAS here!!

Well, I'm talking about alll the public schools in boston. And i need links and/or articles refering to this situation.

Are you are actually a journalist?  With such poor grammar, spelling, and sentence structure, it's quite difficult to believe!  You are a great example of the failing schools!  Perhaps you never had to take an exit exam like MCAS, but still, did you really graduate high school?

"quited" ???

Dear Lord . . .

Oh my, whether this is a summer job or a part time or full time job, show some professionalism! Your response is a disgrace to BPS. Perhaps students like you are the reason the headmasters have thrown in the towel.
Also, if you can't take a little criticism, you should think about a different summer job - you sure won't make it in journalism.

70 in Boston alone?  Seems a tad high.  That is close to half.  Where are you getting your information.  Best double check your spelling/grammar before you respond.
