First, if I was a school principal, my main priority would be to make sure the students are happy. Secondly, I would reduce the amount of homework the students are assigned. I would do this because I want students to have more free time for themselves. Lastly, I would encourage my students to actively participate in various activities to broaden their horizons and make more friends. I believe all these experiences will help them with their futures.
