Ep 19. Principal for a Day

Principal for a Day is the nineteenth episode of the second season of the popular television series Schooled. The episode sets up an interesting premise: when Principal Glascott falls ill at the last minute, the faculty must appoint a substitute principal for the day. While Lainey (AJ Michalka), who was the original choice for the temporary position, is underprepared and nervous, Coach Mellor (Bryan Callen) takes it upon himself to fill in for the day.

As the faculty and students prepare for the day, it becomes clear that Coach Mellor has taken a different approach to running the school than Principal Glascott. He is a man of action, and his style proves to be controversial amongst the students and faculty. Mellor approaches discipline in a completely different way, seeking to gain the trust of students by allowing them the freedom to make their own choices.

As the day progresses, Mellor's approach is met with resistance. However, he manages to convince students to join his team by competing in a series of challenges, in which the winning team earns a reward. The competition is a success, bringing students together and improving their teamwork skills.

Despite his unorthodox approach, Mellor's success brings him closer to the faculty and students, earning their respect and admiration. His methods are refreshing, and his willingness to challenge the status quo sets him apart as a unique and effective leader.

As the end of the day approaches, Mellor sets his sights on the biggest challenge of all: winning over Principal Glascott. In a heartfelt speech, Mellor explains his approach and the success it has brought in just one day, asking Glascott to consider trying something new. Glascott is hesitant at first but eventually agrees to give Mellor the reins for a few more days.

The day's events have profound effects on both faculty and students. Lainey sees Mellor in a new light and gains valuable insight into what it means to be a leader. Mellor, meanwhile, learns the importance of collaboration and building relationships, providing a new perspective on what it takes to run a successful school.

Overall, 'Principal for a Day' is a fun, heartwarming episode that showcases the strengths of the Schooled cast and highlights the importance of taking risks and trying new things.
