It looks like they realised they were out of their depth and found someone who could help. Were they wrong to trust you?
Edit: I may have misunderstood your post. Did you mean:
A. The principal and the music teacher asked you to help out a few times because they knew you were skilled
B. You were always the first suspect when anything went wrong
I understood it as A. If so I really don't see how you'd lose respect for them over that.
- LocalH 5y agoIt sounds like they weren't called to the principal's office to fix things, but after the fact and in a disciplinatory fashion.
- pdpi 5y agoThere's the educational, constructive "Hey lokimedes I hear you're pretty good with this computer stuff want to come and help me while I solve a problem?", then there's the not so educational and not so constructive "Hey lokimedes, I hear you're pretty good at this, want to solve this problem for us?". The "admin" person calling you for the former? Pretty cool. The principal calling you to their office for the latter? It really does say weird things about authority figures to a kid who's paying attention, especially when mixed with the cluelessness about security.
- Sophira 5y agoIt's not just the words though, here. Being called to the principal's office is an exceptional occasion. If they were called to the office that many times, they'd see through the words and recognise that the adults were out of their depth and that's why they were being called.
