Editor, Daily News:
I may not have all the facts concerning Immokalee High School Principal Manny Touron's case, but I have been a teacher.
A principal is a role model for his/her students and staff, as well as a person of importance in the community. "Nice" is good; "caring" is better. But "integrity" is central to the job. If you expect staff to implement a character education/values curriculum where students learn about respect, honesty, responsibility, truthfulness, etc., then everyone must be on board — administrators and parents, too.
Right now, we seem to be sending a mixed message: Do as I say, not as I do.
