Cool Junior High Vice Principal

There are many different types of educators and administrators in schools. Some try to run their building like it is Guantanamo Bay. Others try to lead by examples and be great role models for the students. Some are firm disciplinarians but treat everyone fair. Others are terrific communicators.

Chris Lee has proven in his time as an NHL official to be none of the above. He has no authority whatsoever on the ice. He can’t control anything. He doesn’t communicate well at all and when he does he doesn’t seem to know what he is talking about.

So, why would he be a good Vice Principal? Well, he would only because he could be that cool Vice Principal at a Junior High that just roamed from class to class making jokes and talking about “the good ol’ days.”

He would show up every day and cash that paycheque. He would be around all of the action and shouting things from the sidelines. But when it comes to an actual altercation where discipline is needed, Vice Principal Lee would look the other way, or just send the troublemakers to see the actual Principal to be disciplined.
