Everyone has their own particular way of doing things\u2014but occasionally, principals’ pet peeves take it to the next level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A friend of mine shared with me that her previous principal had a peculiar obsession with blue pens. Specifically, the teachers had to use blue pens while marking students’ papers or providing feedback. Not too bright, not too dull, just the right shade of “serene.” The rationale behind this principal’s pet peeve was that it supposedly “soothed students’ minds” when reading the feedback on their mistakes. Although I had heard this before<\/a>, this principal went to the extent of buying all the teachers the same blue-colored pens! <\/p>\n\n\n\n This led me to wonder …<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat other principal pet peeves are out there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
