Top-down toughness

The boss kicks some butt:

Indianapolis Arlington High School students might want to shape up the next time the superintendent pays a visit.

Indianapolis Public Schools Superintendent Eugene White visited the east side school on Wednesday and suspended between 40 and 50 students for not following rules. Their offenses included insubordination, tardiness, not having identification cards and dress code violations.

It's fine that he caught the violations and was willing to be tough about them. But where were the teachers? Shouldn't they be a little worried about shaping up for the next time, too? And what about the principal? Schools usually succeed or fail based on what kind of job that administrator does.
