“The Principal’s Office,” the new reality series on TruTV
We all know that principals have a tough job, but did you know that your career choice is now the subject of a new reality series on TruTV? This description of the show appears on TruTV’s website:
“Your heart races, your palms are sweaty, your eyes begin to twitch—will you survive a trip to The Principal’s Office? Capturing all the fear, paranoia, blatant lying and transparent brownnosing, this series will capture the most outrageous excuses from students and parents as they try to avoid detentions, suspensions or worse from these high school principals who have heard it all before.”
This half-hour show on Time Warner Cable Channel 61 (formerly Court TV) is shown on Thursdays at 9pm, 9:30pm, and 11pm.
The TruTV website includes videos of principals discussing situations and solutions that are actually interesting and instructive. There are also interviews with students that are rather humorous, for instance, “the dog ate my homework”-type stories, Watch the show and be inspired to submit your own compelling stories to Stories from the Field. Send a brief narrative or short note about your idea to principal@osu.edu.
