Who Am I Going to Fail Today?: Diary of a Teaching Principal

What happens when professional success comes with an unexpected cost?For a teaching principal, every day can feel like a choice between two worlds: the classroom and the front office, between the students waiting to learn and the responsibilities demanding immediate attention.In Who Am I Going to Fail Today?, Claudia Ynés Viza Rodríguez offers an intimate and honest account of what it means to lead a school while continuing to teach a class of her own.Through personal experiences, difficult decisions, moments of exhaustion, and the lessons her students taught her, she reveals a reality that thousands of educators live but few dare to name.What happens when a principal must leave her classroom to respond to an emergency? What happens when paperwork, meetings, regulations, and urgent demands compete with the children who are waiting for their teacher?And, above all, what happens when every decision means that someone may feel let down?At the heart of this journey is one question: "Who am I going to fail today?"This is not a manual on school administration. It is not a technical guide. It is a testimony.It is a story about the invisible weight carried by educators, the tension between leadership and teaching, and the struggle to remain present for students even when the system demands that you be somewhere else.With honesty, vulnerability, and a deep commitment to education, the author invites readers to look beyond the title of principal and see the person behind it: a teacher, a leader, a woman, and an educator trying every day to do what matters most.Who Am I Going to Fail Today? is for principals, teachers, educators, and anyone who has ever felt that no matter how hard they try, there is always someone they cannot reach.Because sometimes the hardest question at the end of the day is not "What did I accomplish?"It is: "Who did I fail today?"
