So much depressing news has unfortunately come to define our opinion of inner-city public schools. But there's another story to be told. A story of dedicated and hard-working administrators who sacrifice every day for the good of kids who are often marginalized, stereotyped or just ignored by the rest of society. This is the story of one of these extraordinary inner city school administrators. At Bell High school in Washington, DC -- a place where 65 percent of the students are foreign born and they speak 30 different languages, she offers discipline and compassion.

Review of A Day In The Life Of A Vice Principal
One of those documentary segments that pulls you right into the middle of another person's daily life and gives you a sampling of what it's like as they try to do their job. In this case, it's a job that seems daunting (at the very least) as you listen to all the demands and challenges that are made on a school's vice president and how unflappable and determined she is. The segment is likely to make most of us realize how "easy" our jobs are -- and give a new-found respect for those working the education today.
