This probably straddles the line between stupid and evil, but I’m going to put it here. [https://wgntv.com/northwest-indiana/came-to-my-house-like-the-mob-east-chicago-principal-among-3-placed-on-leave-after-charges/](https://wgntv.com/northwest-indiana/came-to-my-house-like-the-mob-east-chicago-principal-among-3-placed-on-leave-after-charges/) > The mother heard loud banging and her doorbell ring that night. She heard feet running up her stairs before she could check her Ring camera to see who was there, documents state. > > “Give me the s\*\*\*, give me all of it, give me everything that you stole,” is what the mother heard next, documents state. And who was it? > An East Chicago principal, dean and basketball coach have been placed on administrative leave after being accused of storming into a home to get back stolen items from another high school. Even if it was legal to do this, apparently a basketball coach, a dean and a school principal, between the three of them, didn’t consider that this is a great way to get yourself shot. I know they won’t but I really hope they see the inside of a jail cell, even if it’s just for a few days. ---

To be honest, the bit I found interesting in that story is that the items were stolen from a visiting locker room and that the students were seen doing so on “surveillance footage.” So that school had security cameras in a _locker room_? Isn’t there an expectation of privacy there? ---

Apparently the trend these days is to separate school administration between a principal who manages the faculty and a “dean of students” who oversees the kids, rather than having one principal do both jobs. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Apparently the trend these days is to separate school administration between a principal who manages the faculty and a “dean of students” who oversees the kids, rather than having one principal do both jobs. In my high school, the vice principal was responsible for handling the kids, which meant that you were usually sent to his office if you screwed up. But that could have been because our principal was a bit of a milquetoast, while our VP was fricken’ terrifying (although a really nice guy underneath). ---

Same thing seemed to be the case in the US Navy (at least when I was serving). The XO (Executive Officer) was the asshole everybody hated (thus giving us a common enemy that we could all despise together), while the CO floated above it all, and just ran the ship. A lot of it was probably theatre. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > High schools have deans? The basic setup is usually the same, with one head honcho and a few other administrators under them who handle various categories of tasks. The titles can vary, but “dean” is not an uncommon one. At private schools, there’s often also a separate principal and president (the president is more concerned with the school as a business, while the principal is more concerned with the school as a school). At my current school, there’s a President, a few Vice-Presidents in various roles, a Principal, an Assistant Principal for Academics, and an Assistant Principal for Student Success. At another school, the two Assistant Principals might easily be called “deans”. ---

In our district, deans deal specifically with student discipline and such, while asst. principals deal more with administration and business. Some schools have deans, others do not. ---

> [@raventhief](#): > > My high school had a dream, 20mumble years ago. My high school had a dream too, just not the Martin Luthor King dream. More of a nightmare of repression, inequality and opression. But we did have a “rector” (nominally an Anglican school) who oversaw education and religion, and a largely anonymous admin flunky who dealt with the business side of things, the “bursar”. FWIW, and off topic, our rector got fired pretty damn quick when it turned out he had requested to take nude pictures of one boy in my year, naked, with and without an erection. Supposedly for “science class” (biology). Sorry, in keeping with the thread, this did not make the news. It was so silently executed, I think I was one of just a handful of students who knew the reason for his sudden departure. No news coverage at all. ---
