As to the school principal, I'd have every principal teach two classes, on the subject of their choice: one to incoming freshmen, in the smallest seminars possible, one to exiting seniors, same deal. Job #1 is to know the kids.

Sounds like we could apply these concepts to Congress as well.
I do like the idea of part-time administration. I saw some numbers a few years back that were startling. For every dollar that goes into schools, an incredible amount is eaten up by admin.
