The articles on this page are reprinted from the Courier, the newspaper of Birmingham High School in the San Fernando Valley. Newspaper advisor Adrienne Mack commented: “Although the commentary may seem harsh, it is what students think. No matter how hard a principal may be working at meetings and behind the scenes, students expect and want their principal to be visible—to shake hands with the kids when he/she walks across campus, to get on the P.A. and praise them when they’re good and yell when they’re not, to pick up trash and make them do the same. There was no intent to embarrass Mr. Kleinman, just to get the school shaped up.”
