the history of school principles?

Question

the history of them or who was the first principle and how much they get pay

Answer 1

Okay, you're confusing the word, "principal" -- the head of the school administration, as opposed to "principle", which means a rule. This is a common error. The way you can tell these words apart is to think of the "principal" as a "pal". However, I know you weren't seeking a grammar lesson, but I had to throw that in for clarification.

I have no idea who the first principal was, but it stands to reason that when the school systems first came into effect, one person had to be the administrator, or the overall head of the teachers in that school. Therefore, that person was elected to represent the particular school in question. He or she would probably have been paid more for the administrative position, than the teachers, much to their consternation. For as long as I can remember, teachers have complained about being underpaid, although their salaries looked a good deal better on paper than any of mine. I worked as an administrative assistant in local government, and I didn't make even half as much as the teachers. Therefore, I would have to say that the principals were well paid in their positions, then as now.
