My soon-to-be-departed principal and his wife had a baby a few months ago. Recently he and I were talking about his new job and he said a big reason why he and his wife were excited to go to China was that their child
"would be able to attend good schools there."
While I haven't totally unpacked the significance of an American public school leader feeling like he has to move to China for his daughter to have access to good schools, I can't help but feel a sense of foreboding about it...

It's interesting that the altruistic belief in public education that is often attributed to driving some of the finest professionals into teaching so rarely extends itself to those administrators who oversee them at, conveniently, twice the salary of most teachers.
Maybe you will not be held to as high standards this year. After all, football players who have multiple coordinators in consecutive years are often given the benefit of the doubt when their play suffers.
