24. First of all...
Re-training for another career at 55 years old is NOT a situation that is found only in the profession of teaching. My question is, what type of behavior does a teacher have to exhibit to allow the principal to fire them and have the evidence to get it to hold up?

In the non-teaching world you can get fired for being a general pain in the ass. If your principal finds you to be the same kind of person, you may find yourself on the outs. My advice for teachers that want to avoid these situations is, like people do in the non-teaching world, don't be a mal-content at work. Don't be a clubhouse lawyer. Will it protect you from the false charges, no. And I admit that it DOES happen. It will increase your chances of staying in the clear, though.

I repeat, I am not saying that there are not falsely accused teachers. I am finding fault with the consistant use of the word "frequently" when it comes to these bogus charges.
