Ha, my very favorite principal was the guy I had in HS. At one point he flagged-down my folks at a school event, shaking his head. He had seen my standardized test scores and couldn't for the life of him figure out why I was not among the top of the class (aside from Math--I have never done well with that). It used to drive my folks batty...how could such a bright kid do so poorly in school? My sister was even worse. She would frequently do work and forget to turn it in or lose it in her locker.
