A principal's official time is from 8am to 5pm. Classes starts from 6am to 7pm. Do you think it is still her responsibility to stay in school beyond her official time? Why or why not? Her pay remains the same even if she renders over time.

Personally, I don't think anyone should regularly stay late or start early. But then again, when it's an academic environment, I think a Principal should make sure that before he or she leaves, things are running relatively smoothly.
If there's a huge crisis, then it's OK to stay, but if things are pretty much under control, then it's OK to leave.
Looks like they set the hours so that the Principal is there for the majority of the time, which is the way it should be. But Assistant Principals and other staff and teachers are there the rest of the time to ensure that things run smoothly.
This way, the entire school day and after school activities are covered.

I feel the principal should be at school during school hours. If classes are from 6am - 7 pm, then the principal should be there. He is the captain of the ship and he'd better be there to steer it through the rough waters.

Even when a principal goes home, he or she is still "working overtime," because it is such a decision-making job, that the problem solving still lives on. This is sometimes even true during sleep hours.
