Shame on you Principals. Can you not laugh at yourself? Have you no character, no sense of humor, no substance? Shame on you. Your stubbornness, your ego, your hate, your god complex, your inconsistency, your incompetency your, lack of substance. These are the reasons why you are given so little reverence.
