The Matter Of The Principal

February 6, 2010

Ron Sterr, principal of Litchfield Elementary School in Arizona, has found himself suspended.  In a fit of frustration from a caustic comment, he penned a letter venting his frustrations.  In this letter he accused parents of having children that are either “too lazy or too stupid” to complete their class assignments. The letter went on to discuss children with peanut allergies and emotional concerns due to the death of pets.  Unfortunately for Sterr, the letter – which was meant as a joke – was sent home (by accident) with second graders and parents were incensed!  Sterr was required to call each parent personally to apologize but still faces demotion and possible termination.


An elementary school principal needed to vent
Lazy and stupid kids were his source of discontent
Writing a letter as a joke
On apologies he must choke
Because the letter was sent home, quite by accident
