|---|---|---|---|---|
L. Pete Bishop, PhD, invested thirty-two years in public school education as a teacher, coach, and administrator. He was called upon to take the principal position at a low performing, inner-city school. There was plenty that happened--and enough interesting things to encourage Dr. Bishop to write a fictionalized memoir--a composite of his experience in education. Pete Bishop has a message for parents, coaches, teachers and administrations and it's told entertainingly and profoundly in The Principal of the Thing. |

will education make the grade?
L. Pete Bishop, having spent 32 years in public education as a teacher, coach, and administrator, wrote a revealing and entertaining book about a year in an inner-city high school in the midwest.
In this fictionalized memoir, Principal Wilber Packer tries to empower his teachers to help him turn around a low-performing school. Along the way, "Pack" faces more than he bargained for as gangs, board members, and a few parents promoted their own agendas. Pack's resolve is tested as he seeks the welfare of the students above all else.
