East Jordan Middle School students were greeted by a new face in the principal's office when classes resumed this week.

Not a very good principal. I should know, he is mine. I am in seventh grade. Age 12, soon to be 13 and I don't like him at all. I barely tolerate him. I'd LIKE to hit him over the head as hard as I can with a bat. But, I won't. My friends agree with me and say I am a goody two shoes. I know they are right, but I am not going to tell them that. I'd never hear the end of it. I just don't like him. Something about him is just.....odd, I guess, for lack there of better word.

Coach chase was my 5th grade teacher been years since I have heard about him he was a good teacher that was in 1980.

I was wrong. He's um....better than I thought. Recently he has begun helping me with a problem. It does help when one doesn't appear in his office very often.
