After much arm-twisting, Joe Clark finally agreed to become the principal of East Side High School. .
Principal Clark's first order of business was to expell the worst of the chronic delinquents. He knew the school would be a lot more safe and educationally functional without them. He then put locked chains on all of the doors to keep them out. All that remained were the good students and perhaps some of the status offenders. A status offense is conduct that is illegal only because the child is under age (Juvenile Delinquency, 21). Joe Clark was a disciplinarian. He was a high-energy, often abrasive person who was nevertheless compassionate but not soft. He believed in rules and structure and was very committed to his job. His personality, however, did not always mesh well with others. The teachers as well as the students found him to be too often unnecessarily cruel and harsh. Many people were simply terrified of crossing him because he could be so explosive. He began to fire teachers who did not meet his demands or whose teaching style he did not agree with.
However, as people got used to him they found that he had a softer side and, in fact had a big heart. They realized that he was just trying to turn the school around and that he was making progress doing just that. While Joe Clark was principal, the school did a complete 180 degree turn in its commitment to educational improvement. He cleaned up the school, convinced the students that school work were important and that delinquent behavior, lack of education and drugs lead to nowhere in life. .
Joe Clark had to deal with a wide range of problems amongst his students. These included teenage pregnancies, drug dealing, gangs, students who lacked role models at home, students with no motivation to learn, and students with extreme behavioral or discipline problems. All of these issues stood between Joe Clark and his efforts to improve the quality of education at the school.
