    Halter is also the most heartless of the principals, in a tough-love sort of way.... [But] Most of the time, though, this show makes you wish that the principals had sharper teeth.

    The show's value, if any, is in demonstrating the different styles used by the principals: tough, tender and so on. The show's drawback is that it suggests that all principals do is administer discipline. For that, the show's creators need a spanking.

    The Principal's Office, a supposed documentary series from TruTV (the reality-show ghost of the cable channel once known as Court TV), is pure canine despite delivering neither the bark nor the bite you might expect from a show that follows high school principals dealing with disciplinary problems.
